Picking up some random things with the $623 I won in poker last night. Walking around, picked up Monopoly, a scrub brush, some milk, ect. Wal Mart is packed, no lines ect. I finally choose a line, and proceed to check out. I put $40 into the machine, and im getting $3.XX back in change. I get my receipt, reach in to get my change... and notice something...

See what I see....???

Here is the kicker...

Wildcard find for me!!!

I'm trying to understand the differance between a 1945 S and a 1945 S with the PCGS distinction of FS. Can anyone help? And, which is the coin (that is very cool!!) that Bill found?

Mary, FS stands for: Full Steps.
Term applied to a Jefferson five-cent example when at least 5 steps of Monticello are present.

I'd have started buying packs of 25c gum out of that machine.

Gary,
I only wish I had found that coin in my change but it was Bill aka 30AnvZ28.

John, thanks for the education. You realize I'm now going to scour my 1945 Jefferson's, right?

I thought about it being a full roll of war nickels... however, I drove about 45 min away for the evening... and think that today might be too late... but I am going back to Wal Mart just in case it isnt.....

oh yes, on a side note... my wildcard find win (in sig) was from the same Wal Mart... same self checkout machines... 3 MS 1959 D Nickels that time. Im wagering that was a full OBR in the machine for those.
