What does FS-007 mean on a NGC label for a 3 Cent silver?

Trime

I have an 1862/1 3CS coin in a MS65 FS-007 NGC holder.
What does the FS stand for; obviously not full steps. Is it first strike ; full shield or something else?
Only other point is that the coin was misattributesd by NGC as an 1862 and resubmitted and reholdered as the 62/1

That's the abbreviation for the Fivaz-Stanton number assigned to the variety in the Cherrypickers book. 1862/1 variety.

Trime that sounds like a neat overdate.

Hi Trime, here's a picture I just took of my 1862/1 three cent silver in an ANACS MS60 holder. I am rather unimpressed with this overdate as it can't be seen without a glass and even then you pretty much have to know what to look for. If I remember right the die crack going through the one of the date is the diagnostic for this variety. I'll send you some more info in a PM. Mike

In Cherry pickers it says there will be a faint line in the opening of the 2, also

KlectorKid, you are right the faint line is the 1 underdate but the die crack going from the rim throught the one to the star is seen with no magnafication and used to tell the overdate with out eye strain

Thanks,
I am sorry to be stupid, I forgot about the Fivaz and Stanton numbers in this context.
I have not had these attributed with FS # on slab labels in any of my other 62/1 Trime overdates of which I have 4 -2 MS66 and 2 MS65 (3 NGC; 1PCGS).
Nor do I recall FS # on NGC labels for any of the other coins listed in the Cherrypickers guide.
When did NGC start doing this?

trime, I bet they started doing this when they they sent that little variety booklet out. mike

I guess from your first post on these I thought you were looking for some info on these but if I would have stopped to think for a second I would have realized you know more about these coins than I ever will. mike
