The come very well struck and most are FS.

MsMorrisine

Both years were specially handled.

Yes they are both graded with FS, or not, but the 65-67 SMS for some reason do not get the designation.

Very odd.

I even think that the 64SMS coins I have seen do get the designation.

64's have 72% with FS, but none of the 65-67 out of thousands have an FS designation.

Both tend to be high grade almost always.

I just made a nice one last week - pure luck to be this high.

This has been brought up... again and again.

Interesting isn't it how the 65 - 67's aren't designated, when all the rest are, including the 64.

In this case, once the decision was made, the Gods have decided not to ever fix the problem. IMHO, it will probably take a few more decades before it gets fixed.

Good news... you can sometimes find them already TPG graded with full steps and no designation for the change in your pocket and since most of the top 3 TPG's don't designate (check pop reports to figure out which one does) raw coins are also out there if you search for them.

But please don't hunt for them... I'd like to own them all.

Happy Hunting!
