in Metal Detecting
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...

    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.

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

    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.

    OK, I nominated your chauffer badge for the Relic category.

    But you'll have to post your Wildcard entry yourself.
