PCGS Graded Some of the Fort Knox 1933 $20s?

I couldn't believe my eyes when this popped up in the shared orders page last night:
What's crazy is that the grades seem to line up with the grades NGC assigned the 1933 $20s when they graded 10 of them. The NGC pops were:
6 - MS64
2- MS65
1- MS66
1- UNC Details Cleaned
I assumed there would be a press release or something. Was I not supposed to see this? I mean, no way PCGS grades 5 of the 1933s and doesn't tell anyone!

You had me, until I realized I had just called my mom to wish her happy birthday.
Great one but too fast! Should have let it run for some responses!

You had me believing that for a few seconds! I thought you were going to say you sent them in on a crossover!
For astronomy buffs Sir. Patrick Moore's hoax was one of the better ones:
Well-known television astronomer and national treasure Patrick Moore announced on BBC Radio 2 on April fool's in 1976 that due to an unusual alignment of planets, known as the Jovian-Plutonian gravitational effect, Earth would have a temporary reduction in the gravitational pull. He urged listeners to jump at exactly 9.47am to experience weightlessness. Thousands called in to say they'd felt the decrease in gravity and one woman even claimed that she and eleven friends "wafted from their chairs and orbited gently around the room."
