I picked this one at a thrift store for fifty cents. It was being sold as a 1940 S Wheat cent without any variety attribution.

Variety Vista: 1940-S RPM-007
Coppercoins: 1940S-1MM-007
Wexler: 1940-S 1¢ WRPM-006 "Best Of" Variety

Congrats.
Nice images. The RPM was even visible on your full coin shot.

Another one of the better RPMs in the Lincoln series that I would hope to see in the next edition of the CherryPickers' Guide. Lots of lesser ones in the current edition but this one got missed.

I agree..In the middle of nowhere, the several thrift stores in my town sell heavily circulated wheat cents like they're gold.
