Technically, it would be possible.
But contrary to how it may seem, I generally try and produce the fewest number of die varieties possible.
This because I inevitably seem to end up with more varieties than I originally intended. I produce more than enough by accident.
So, while it could easily be done, the additional variety would complicate things (marketing-wise) for myself and others who already bought one or more of the coins.
It could diminish the value of the version with "FG", if the no-FG verson had a lower mintage.
I promise to seal them up in the vault with the Kennedy files until 75 years from now.

I forgot to mention, the picture of the sea battle (in the upper right of the picture) above the model, was my Dad's. Shortly after he was inaugurated , a newspaper story stated that the first thing the President wanted his wife to do was to find him a painting of a naval engagement for the Oval Office. My Mom brought the newspaper article to my Dad's attention. My Dad was a SERIOUS collector of maritime art (going on to found the Philadelphia Maritime Museum, currently called the Independence Seaport Museum). My Dad sent a telegram to the President and his wife offering to lend him a painting of the US Frigate Constitution defeating HMS Guerriere on August 19, 1812 or of the US Frigate United States defeating HMS Macedonia on October 25, 1812. Several days later a US Navy station wagon carried the latter oil painting (by Thomas Birch for those of you that know art) to the White House. It was given a place of honor by the President's desk. My Dad got a letter from JFK thanking him for the loan of the painting. During the presidency we had a family game of seeing which photographs we could find of VIPs from around the world in the Oval Office with the painting in the background.

Now THAT'S a FS designation!
My icon IS my coin. It is a gem 1949 FBL Franklin.
James A. Reed served with JFK in the Navy on a PT boat stationed on the same island in the pacific
They were very close friends. After the war ended and JFK went into politics he hired Reed who worked for him all thru his rise to President.
After becoming President JFK appointed him to the Treasury Dept. Because of this very close personal relationship Reed was presented these coins.
After leaving government service Reed went into Law practice in Mass. and upon his death this award was passed on to his grandson who then sold them at auction around five years ago.
My wife bought them for me as a gift at that time.
