I believe the Red Book labels it this way, too, and&nbsp; dealers didn&#039;t want customers to be disappointed by not seeing it. The&nbsp; situation is similar to specifying RAYS on 1866 nickels and ARROWS on&nbsp; 1874 dimes; they don&#039;t exist without those features, but many type coin&nbsp; buyers expect to see them.&quot;</i></span></p><p><br /></p><p>I presume the reasoning for such a designation on the PCGS slabs is similar.&nbsp; There is NO additional cost for this designation at NGC, and you get it without requesting it.&nbsp; If PCGS is charging for such a designation I would be surprised, as every 1921 Peace Dollar qualifies.</p><p><br /></p><p>Take away message is, don&#039;t get your britches all in a bunch.&nbsp; Much ado about nothing here...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
