Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6495 Posts	Posted 09/20/2025 2:45 pm Purchased on ebay for $14.99 + $1.89 s/h, already correctly identified as a 1954-S/S 5¢ FS-502. Coin has pleasing reddish-caramel toning particular to nickels from the mid-1950s, but still presents very nice luster. Report this Post to the Staff

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 73987 Posts	Posted 09/20/2025 3:50 pm Nice RPM! Was the RPM mentioned in the listing or was it a cherrypick? Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6495 Posts	Posted 09/20/2025 4:06 pm The listing clearly identified the coin as a 1954-S/S. I have checked listings for a few months, trying to cherrypick one. Most ebay images don't have the resolution or focus to make the determination. I had considered buying a slabbed specimen, but for whatever reason, people take lousy photos of coins in slabs, so you can't be certain a nickel is free from corrosion or other blemishes. This one was an acceptable compromise that I am happy with. Report this Post to the Staff

Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6495 Posts	Posted 09/20/2025 7:38 pm Thanks, everybody. =) The 1954-S/S FS-502 has a lot going for it. The tall S is a large mint mark, there is considerable separation on the two punch locations, and both the punch and repunch are hammered to full depth. Report this Post to the Staff
