Cherrypicked this one as it just looked like a nice coin and a strong VF. 1910 S/S Lincoln Wheat cent RPM-001, FS-501

Nice buy. The secondary MM is quite crisp on this one. I've been trying to find one in AU for a while, but no luck.

Looks like an earlier die state. That's why it's a crisp secondary punch.

Nice find indeed!  Congrats tropicalbats.....but don't you wish you could run a toothpick around the date and mintmark without anyone noticing?

Thanks folks! And while I don't use a toothpick, I have a small porcupine quill that works great to remove a spot or two around a mint mark. But this coin is too nice and would need a lot of careful work to not put some small scratch on it so will leave it alone.

Very nice find TB. Coop, I didn't realize we were only allowed one of each variety. I'll turn all my dup's back to the bank immediately.

Hmmmm, I should think I've got more than just one more of those. But when they come up and sell pretty much for just what the 10-S is worth it's hard not to grab them for trading stock.
