    How about this clue. If PCGS attributes this coin the way I think they should, this would be a Pop 1 coin.

    Looks like 1945 to me

    Dowgie, now that you posted a photo I'm going to say 1940-D

    I guess 1945-P
    doesn't seem to fit the clue though

    30.3... ah... now I see it... a 22.5. Either way, what makes it a pop 1?

    Let's add another picture. This variety has a couple die scratches shown in this picture.

    I think it's a 1956, but what do I know. I'm only guessing becuase last time I had the right answer and kept it to myself. image

    I definitely don't think it's a 1939 QDR FS022.5, I have an UNC examples and you can definitely see all four hubbings as "stairs" in the serifs.

    Sean got it! Even though he did not say which 1956 variety it is.....FS-035.6. If it grades by PCGS, it will be a Pop 1! Unless someone out there has one already in the works?

    I wouldn't want Frank to have all the fun with his recent Pop 1 additions! Now, we all need to find some more of them!

    I added another picture, may be a little better then the previous.

    Whoo hoo! I'll PM my address where you can send the prize. image

    I recognized it because I have in one in low grade, along with the other multiply doubled reverse die for the year (I forget how many hubbing it had, but it might be as many as six). I bought them years ago from eBay seller Pete Bilan, who in the late 1990s was almost alone in selling really nice CPG varieties on eBay. It's a great variety and an even better cherrypick, so congrats on the find.
