Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6880 Posts	Posted 08/05/2024 9:48 pm I believe this is an example of 1942-S/S 10c FS-502 RPM-003. The coin is heavily circulated. Unfortunately, that includes a major scratch on the obverse. It is doubly unfortunate, as there are only three FS-502 certified by PCGS, and the coin is included in the extended Mercury dime registry set with all varieties. While it is certainly worth the five bucks that I paid for it, alas, a hard life has probably severely limited its value. Still cool to find, it was a fun hunt. Now I have a reference coin for the future. Variety Vista 1942-S/S 10c RPM-003 Wexler 1942-S/S 10c WRPM-003 PCGS 1942-S/S 10c FS-502 Report this Post to the Staff

macmercury Pillar of the Community United States 5888 Posts	Posted 08/08/2024 8:13 pm This variety is one of the difficult to find category, because it wears out easily in circulation. In order to really get a good sense of how this RPM is suppose to look like, it would probably need to be in extra fine and above to see the detail. I may have posted this one a while back, pictures not the sharpest but at least in AU quality IMO. Close up for reference. Report this Post to the Staff
Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6880 Posts	Posted 08/11/2024 5:36 pm That's a nice example. Details on that dime still look nice and sharp, and the metal color looks good. Did you cherry pick that one yourself, or buy as an already identified variety? Report this Post to the Staff
macmercury Pillar of the Community United States 5888 Posts	Posted 08/12/2024 10:18 pm I think I bought it years ago identified as a variety, my only example after all this time. Its getting harder to find out in the wild. Report this Post to the Staff
