My buddy @shortnock and I decided to make the trek from Austin to Grapevine for the Grapevine show yesterday. We arrived to a full parking lot, and many of the dealers I talked to were having a good show. I had a great day cherrypicking, coming away with a 1942-S/S/S Doubled Die Obverse FS-101 Lincoln Cent in red uncirculated, and a number of Mercury dimes, some of which had some really nice colors going on. Enjoy:

That cent is really nice for that date. Shame about that mark above the date. Also a fan of that first merc.

Glad you got to hit up a good show. Does the 43-S go FB? I can't quite tell. They all look nice!
Were the dealers willing to deal, or were things close to "retail?"
Four nice coins! I especially like the Mercs.
Grapevine is just down the road about three hours...it is on my "places to go" list to check out.
Nice pick up coins!

Unfortunately, the '43-S won't make full bands, but should grade well as it has only a few contact marks.
I live in Austin, and it's a 3-hour drive from there. It's a good show- probably 60-70 tables and they're always sold.
@cmerlo1 .... That is a very nice cent.... Not in a slab?? Very unusual to find raw in that condition. Thanks for the show report... Nice area of Texas. Cheers, RickO
