Message:: [QUOTE="Casman, post: 3416642, member: 85295"]The GC MS 64 was also purchased by the #1 registry owner, presumably to replace his misattributed example. As I indicated, he'd paid  $4K for essentially a $10 dollar coin.  He didn't want to have it reviewed by PCGS as the price guide at that time for the only graded example was $400.  This despite the fact there was no public sales history. At this point, I am aware of 5 known examples.  One legit MS 64. My former AU 55 which really was the first ever graded, a PCGS Genuine Cleaned example which is on ebay, one which is notably interesting and different than the others and is raw (images of this example over at CCF, and I have another raw. That example, the one on CCF is a LDS, where the reengraved lines have been polished off, and it exhibits the typical appearance of the FS501, including a die crack on the wing.  But the reengraving lines which extend upward into the arrow bundle are still visible. That coin is still raw, and photos can be located by running a google image search. The last example is in my collection, and is currently raw.  In my opinion its an EDS and  64 / 65 For historical reference, the coin in the CPG was lost, per James Wiles.[/QUOTE]
