   Russ: Did any of these ever fool you? Or did you buy the coins to return to PCGS? I know that if they fooled Russ, they have to be deceptive as the devil!

   PS: For those worried about this as a current problem, no recently graded examples have surfaced. Russ, NCNE

   << <i>This was not seen by the graders? >> When frost is freshly faked, it looks much more legit than what we're seeing here. Over time, it dissolves, spreads, and turns to crap. Russ, NCNE

   Like previous responders, I'm leery of making a judgement based upon photos; but the little "halo" below the tail feathers does look suspicious. Obverse looks OK. I'll defer to Russ on this one also. He knows his JFK's.

   << <i>And they may have but I could almost guarantee that the cert numbers have been removed from the database >> They don't change them in the database. Check #21037534. I returned that one about 6 years ago. Russ, NCNE

   Yep, artificially frosted. I had a 67CAM AH from around the same time frame, and I still have a 67CAM 1961 Frankie. PCGS made good on the Accented Hair, as they always do. I decided to hang on to the Frankie to have an example on hand. Quite a few got through back around the same time. Russ, NCNE
