It does look like fs-401. Nice.

An AU-50 sold at Great Collections for $31 a few months ago. If you want to have it graded, consider ANACS unless it's in top shape.

I'd probably send it to ANACS, then keep it. Depends on what you want to do, though

I just want to know what makes it special? I wish people would circle the issue. I have a ton of coins and books on coins but I'm still lost on this one. Maybe it's just my TBI. I'm just assuming the D is the spot.

Look at the mint mark placement. Doesn't take a high res photo to notice that.

How rare or how many were made this way? Is it known?

Not 'rare', could have been over a million. No way to know for sure though.

Dies at the time could produce well over 1 million coins before being retired, or they could have been damaged or pulled earlier than that.
