    Whats the pcgs 67fs pop? The ngc pop is 1.

    A 65fs sold here for $31.00

    If you make a pop1 with no higher coin people pay big money.
    I think the others are hinting at the odds of finding 6 all ms67fs coins is slim to none.

    in 7/03 PCGS had 16 FS at MS66 none finer



    your friend does not work at PCGS, probably grades on a scale more similar to ACG or NTC


    if you really want to know what it is graded, poney up the bucks and send it to PCGS and see if they call it fullsteps and MS67

    if they do, your coins are worth over $1000 each -

    Oh... if it was bad you would have known it. Finding 6- 88FS Jeff's grading 67 in 1 roll would be off the scales. That has probably NEVER been done before. If you have done so, I would call that INCREDIBLE good luck, and being a beginner....incredible beginners luck. Don't read more than that into my post. And by the way, welcome to the boards, you will love it here.
