eBay thief 1943-D FS-501

FINALLY!!! I cherrypicked this one in a PCGS MS65 PDS set (each coin slabbed separately). It was priced a bit higher than others but I thought I could see the die scratch coming off TRUST. Paid the starting bid of $100 for all 3 and got them today. I get nervous when there's a higher than average bid because it will alert other to wonder why and get nosey...lol. I looked at this one last because its the one I was buying them for and.....YES!!...I stole it for that price!!! The S has a small CUD on the reverse too.
One of my best picks so far. :)

That is an un believable Pic Jason. I would have never dreamed... Way better than my spotty MS62 ANACS. Way better!! CONGRATS!!!!

Man thats a Happy Dance Coin. One of those when you get it and put a loop on it and confirm what you thought - well, your feet just start moving!

I've been searching for a long time for one of those. Congrats on the great pick. Makes me believe there is still hope in finding one.

Really nice coin BTW, not just a great variety, but a great example.

Thanks everyone!!
Here's the original listing (https://www.ebay.com/itm/1943-1943-D-1943-S-Lincoln-Wheat-Steel-Cents-all-PCGS-MS65-039-s-set-of-3-/174623618204?_trksid=p2047675.l2557&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&nma=true&si=9XeqIl4W3UjlH5kzN63IiXmbUqQ%253D&orig_cvip=true&nordt=true&rt=nc) You can see the RPM but you can never be too sure. The picture quality and glare along with being in a slab and looking doubled around the whole coin, cant be 100% that its an RPM or something else. Especially with all the Die deterioration issues that went on this year. Could have just been glare but I was excited getting my hopes up. I been wrong before, for the same type of issues that looked clearly like an RPM, and ended up beings nothing at all. I can also see something that resembles the die scratch off TRUST. Could it be? :tinysmile_eyebrow_t I thought for sure someone would have caught it and outbid me. When nobody did, my confidence went to about 50/50. I was the only bid and couldn't be happier.:)
