Hey PCGS - All 1856 FE's proof only??

Lakesammman

Heard a well placed Baltimore rumor that PCGS is going to label all FE 1856's as proof from now on, even the S3. Question is, does it really matter what the plastic says? Is it already well enough established that certain die varieties are more desirable than others?? Will it now provide opportunities for knowledgable collectors to cherry pick the S3's and other varieties?????

How about you FE fans - does it matter?? Will the S3 and S9 price differential disappear??

PCGS - let us know what the scoop is!

I would think this would help Rick Snow out if they do choose to do this. He will then get them in for Photo Sealing.

I looked all over the past 2 shows I've been to and haven't seen any NGC '56's to "cherry".

What will this do to the registry set of MS ones?????


I still think the gap will remain for the S3 pricing because it won't change it's desireability one bit just because the great PCGS doesn't call it MS anymore.

Hey Stewart - we need more bridges here in Seattle - I'll take it.....but, not sure what it has to do with the topic....??? Guess it makes the Gorrell MS66 worth no more than a P66....40K or so, wouldn't you think??

What about the circulated versions for the "S-3 model?"

Will they be excluded from the circulated category and all be labeled impaired proof at whatever grade or will they have real circulated grades?
