jerseycat10 Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 Is there a legend for these seemingly series-agnostic attributions? I know they are usually used in reference to DDO's, DDRs, RPMs, etc, but I couldn't find a reference online. Thanks, AJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

illini420 Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 The numbers are from the Cherrypickers' Guide. The "FS" is for the authors Fivaz and Stanton. The numbers must be looked up to be certain, but generally they mean the following: 101-299 DDO or obverse die variety 301-399 obverse date variety 401-499 miscellaneous obverse variety 501-699 mintmark variety 701-799 miscellaneous variety 801-899 DDR 901-999 miscellaneous reverse variety Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
e1cnr Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 They are Fivaz-Stanton numbering system. They are specific to denomination and mintmark. They are explained in CherryPickers Guide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KeyMan64 Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 I know of the Mercury Dime which is FS-110 and it is the 1936-S Possible Overdate of 1929 so this falls into the obverse die variety Another Mercury Dime is the 1940-S FS-901 and it is both a DDO & DDR so that is an example of a miscellaneous....how they decide if this coin falls into the 400s or 700s or 900s is unknown to me. I'm not aware of any coins in the 700s but my focus is primarily with one series that does not have any. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
