1949S

Is this similar to the one in Chuck's book that is 1949S-1DO-001?

Sandra,
You definitely have a variety there! There are 3 different 1949S doubled dies that have the blunt 4 over pointed 4 in the date. The only way to determine which doubled die you have would probably be mint mark positioning. You can check out which one you might have by clicking here and trying to match up the markers:

Sandra, Neat find!

For years only one variety was known, tough to tell apart.

Thanks Ed, I think I will have to post a close up of date/MM and maybe get some help on this one

Sandra, are you finding these in the batch I sent? Hope so! I wouldn't want a bunch of "no shows". Nice finds.
