Hello. I have had this 1971-D quarter in my collection for some time but never paid it much mind. I removed it from its Mylar flip and began checking the die markers for the coin to see if I have the DDR FS-801 variety. I went to VV and found both die cracks they give as indicators. Would you mind taking a look and giving me a second opinion? The die markers seem to be lining up but I’ve been wrong before. In the pics below I’ve traced the die cracks with arrows. Oh one more thing. I believe the condition of this coin to be under AU50. Perhaps in the XF range. Would you agree? Thank you so much!

Your die cracks do not seem to be in the same position as the variety's cracks. (they should be exact in the same die stage) Most importantly, FS-801 is a very strong doubled die. I can not make out any doubling on your coin using the photos supplied. Is there a way to get more focused photos please?Bob Piazza

No problem Bob. I’ve been taking photographs with my phone long enough. Once my coin microscope comes in we’ll try this again with clearer hi def pics. Thank you for your timeComment
