Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6963 Posts	Posted 10/19/2026 2:23 pm Picked for $18 on ebay. I had high hopes that this would be a nice AU specimen of 1942-S/S 10¢ FS-502. I feel that the coin is way too shiny, and has way too many fine lines. I am assuming it's cleaned. Report this Post to the Staff

Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6963 Posts	Posted 10/20/2026 10:05 am Thanks, guys. =) I do think it's a nice variety to have in my collection. But this is the second details specimen of the FS-502 that I have found. With only 6 certified examples at PCGS, it's a rare coin worth having in a condition that can be graded. Perhaps someday! =P Report this Post to the Staff
