I recently bought a BU roll of 1942S cents on eBay. One of those unsearched need the money for medical bills type ads. Well what do you know it was unsearched!
I've got a few pictures on this link. Have a look.

Great finds there Mike. If they are there, you find them. One thing on your images. Do you notice that some are lighter and some are darker? If you use a ramp to tilt the coin the ramp can do two things for you. Direct the light into the lens or make the light miss the lens of the scope. I usually try to keep the widest part of the angle at 6:00 with the light set at 12:00. When you want to turn the coin, don't turn the ramp, turn the coin on the ramp. The darkness comes when the angle works against the light set up. Try it out and see if I right. If you don't use a ramp, then ask how they are made and try it. I noticed the 1942-S date RPM images are fine, just the others are too dark. Let us know how this turns out or if my assesment is incorrect. Its a funny hobby, lets keep it that way. Anything I can trade you for an example of both coins??

Nice finds Mike...I found my first of those at a local show a few years back. Was really surprised that I found it in BU.
