Hey gang,
Just felt like posting a couple of photos of the seldom seen 1934 DDO FS-101:

This is a MS64RB and the earliest die state I've encountered of this rare die variety. Got this one from Mel Pruitt, Jr. a few years back when he was liquidating his collection of many prized Lincoln Cent varieties. He owned all 5 or 6 known at the time (including a gorgeous MS65RD.) However, this is the one he saved for his set as it displayed those under digits so clearly.
Hope these two pictures I took will help others identify this subtle, yet dramatic variety. It has been described as having the farthest spread of any date in the entire series.
Thanks for looking.
