Final 10, the Dream Lives on for 99%...

Still working on my complete Jefferson and variety set. Officially 11 coins to go. Here is one waiting to be submitted. 1942 S/S FS 501







For those of you searching for this elusive variety, I have focused on the die markers that are a giveaway for identifying this coin without seeing the mint mark (even in poor photos) there are 2 identifiers found on most later die stage examples, the obverse spike in the hair is on every die stage.
I have a few upgrades waiting to be sent in also. Looking forward to an active comeback in 2020, with or without my current inventory of sets.
If things go well in November I may have a "Final 7" post.

Happy collecting all
Rocco
