    What I'm wondering is that if it will still say Accent Hair. Guess I'm going to have to wait and see.

    So they gave you a FS # without your paying the extra $15 for Variety Designation???

    Hey Marty, unless I'm mistaken, that DDO is exclusive to the AH Kennedy. I don't see why the slab wouldn't have AH on it, unless there's not enough space to fit all of the wording.

    If that weren't bad enough, PCGS allowed a mechanical error to get through. Shouldn't that grade say "58" instead of "68"? image

    Personally, I don't want the dumbass FS numbers on my labels. This is a very well known variety, not some esoteric coin that needs these numbers.

    Maybe for you collection.

    But if the coins are for resale, FS##=extra $$$

    Not with this one, it doesn't. This is a variety that was well known long before CPG arrived. It is, and always will be, recognized as the Accented Hair, not a jumble of numbers.

    Sounds like a mechanical error. The Accented Hair Variety would be FS – 401. FS – 101 is the old FS 013.2 which is just a double die obverse, proof.

    Drinking too much Kool-Aid in the grading room? image

    If they got the designation wrong they probably got the grade wrong too...image

    ...or maybe they're getting back for MMarty's sig line and all laughing right now at this thread in the grading room...

    Maybe they are. It may have to make a return trip to NB when it gets back.
