Certification standard for PCGS # 411636 1966 50c SMS "No FG"

KLFenstermaker

I have a graded (NGC) coin I am thinking of crossing over. While looking at it, I noted the F is entirely missing, the G is only partial. By CONECA, this is a Late Die State (Stage D) FS-50-1966-901. The Stage E Die State is the one totally without the FG. Will a Stage D rate the PCGS certification as a 411636? What is the difference between a 411636 and a 145426?

I tried doing some research for you but to no avail. You'll have to wait for a JFK half expert to chime in....

But the one thing I did find is that PCGS CoinFacts uses the same coin for the first-up pic for both varieties:

Thanks for the response. I saw the same thing as far as the numbers. It makes things confusing if differences aren't defined. You would think CoinFacts would give a description other than the basic coin info. Pictures are good, but not if high quality and the area of interest pointed out.

@KLFenstermaker....Welcome aboard.... I cannot help with your inquiry, however, I am sure someone will be along soon with some information. Cheers, RickO

Sorry to pull up a post that's 7 months old but it looks like none of the JFK experts have chimed in on this. I have a similar coin to the OP's and would like to get some clarification as well. My coin has the same diagnostics as the first pics that pull up on PCGS Coinfacts (links in ms70's post). PCGS graded that one as a No FG.

For reference, here is the PCGS graded coin that shows up as the first pic in Coinfacts. Its top pop and currently up on Ebay for $15K.
