I've seen both of them, and I prefer the Frederick Charles Cogswell Boyd specimen.

The full provenance is: Originally from the vast holdings of Colonel E.H.R. Green; F.C.C. Boyd Collection.

After the Lelan Rogers auction, Jay Parrino submitted it to PCGS for grading, and there was a debate as to the grade at PCGS, as to whether is should be graded 66 or 67!

While I will never own one, I must say, it would be awesome to hold one in my hand, and study it for a while. Cheers, RickO
