I am pretty convinced this is FS-102 even without seeing a clear pic of Linc's eyelid (that Coinbuf requested) where there should also be prominent doubling but then again it may not be evident due to circulation wear or die state. IGWT looks identical to the cross references I examined and the LI in LIBERTY appears to be an exact match, especially the I with the very noticeable notch. Yes, I do believe there is some DDD evident on the OP's coin due to the later die stage. But what am I missing here that makes you believe, in your assessment and truly valued opinions which I totally respect, that this is not FS-102? I'm just curious if I am missing something here. I am very familiar with DDD and MD but this one, to me, does not fit the bill for a completely worn out die which would cause DDD. The doubling appears to be very prominent IMHO when examined closely. Thanks!

Hey guys, thank you all for your help. I greatly appreciate everyones opinions and knowledge about this coin. I have a couple more images of Lincoln's eye/face, though the coin is not in the greatest shape. I hope they help

Hey guys, I just found this 1955 specimen and need some help. Is it a true double die? Or just machine doubling? And is it something collectible and/or valuable?
Thanks

Die chips and similar surface defects are very rarely uniform geometric figures. The OP's dot seems too close to circular to be a natural occurrence. Would need to see a sharper image at greater magnification.
Steel dies spall or fracture along crystal boundaries - these are almost never circular.
I don’t have the best camera but hopefully these helps?

Is this raised? Or just incuse? If incuse it could be a punch mark someone did for fun. If raised it’s interesting.
It is indeed raised

Could be a small die chip
Also welcome to Forum
Thank you for the warm welcome:) And i thought it could be a small die chip but it’s just so perfectly round?

Does anyone know anything about the dot above the first 9? Any information would be greatly appreciated
Morgan vam?

Hey guys, I was about to sell this 1921 Morgan dollar. It’s graded MS62 by NGC. I’m no expert on Morgans at all. Nor am I good at spotting vams. This particular coin appears to have a die crack/scratch along the lettering on both the obverse and reverse of the coin. Is it a vam? And is it something worth re-submitting to get designated? Or does it not offer any premium. All knowledge and options are welcome
