    Getting coins graded is usually a confusing process in my opinion. But apparently there are many options to grading. I have a few questions about PCGS grading. Are Kennedy FS varieties automatically put on their slabs? Also if not how much does it cost for them to label the DDO/QDO/TDO/DDR? I am asking these because I am working on a kennedy type set and I got a 1966 SMS SP66 FS-106 DCAM and it's not labeled.

    -Tim, if you read this, this is in order to work on my kennedy set, not trying to bring down rarity.

    Come January 1, the variety attribution goes down to $18 per coin, though.

    Prior to sending in any of these coins, be very careful to confirm that PCGS will actually recognize the piece. Otherwise, you have burned your money.

    Cause their going up on everything else is probably to compete with ngc where variety attribution is $15 not $24

    The 1966 FS-106 (DDO-020), is it the one we gave you? If so, it is only a SP66, no CAM or DCAM:
    1966 29530131 SP66 DDO-020 FS-106

    Still a rare kind in my opinion.

    Lol I keep forgetting. And yes it's the one you gave me. I'd like its variety attributed in order to out it in my set instead of getting a whole other one for an expensive price
