*Pics are from the seller, I have not received the coin just yet* Picked up this 1938 S FS-502 yesterday for a pretty decent price at about $20. Normally I don't like spending that much on one coin, but I certainly will for Cherrypicker varieties. I've bought from this seller before and they make good on their promise of you receiving the pictured coin.    |

That RPM is a hot mess!

Excellent VEDS variety, die cracks have not yet developed on the Wheat stalks ( hard to come by in this state)

Chase007, I believe this is actually going to be a later die state. The mintmark on this variety is weaker while in EDS and gets stronger as the die wears down. The reverse die was also changed out around Stage C on varietyvista, so this one is at minimum Stage D as the die gouge from the top of the left wheat stalk is present.

Nice finds. What I do is try to find one nice coin for my collection. These pop up a lot so if you aren't careful you'll end up with a dozen of them and not know what to do with them. I have two MS67RD. Some varieties are very hard to come across and when you find one others do as well. I've gotten a couple nice ones recently but don't have time to post anymore.
