<p>[QUOTE=&quot;flintcreek6412, post: 1858515, member: 61025&quot;]I can&#039;t say I&#039;m big fan either.&nbsp; Maybe for similar or different reasons.&nbsp; It seems to me that any high grade coin should achieve this by the nature of their grade.&nbsp; When I see, and actually own a MS64 FBL I scratch my head a bit. </p><p><br /></p><p>When I discovered the FB Roosevelt(or FT) I started to read about it a bit.&nbsp; I then found that NGC used to just allow 6 steps to be considered FS on Jeffersons.&nbsp; Then for some reason they allowed for further differentiation and now designate 5FS and 6FS?????&nbsp;&nbsp; It&#039;s either got full steps or it doesn&#039;t.&nbsp; And then I see that PCGS just needs 5 steps for the FS grade.&nbsp; To me, that&#039;s like saying the ball bounced off the fence so we will call it a homerun anyway.&nbsp; Maybe I&#039;ll score golf the same, it was close enough so we&#039;ll call it a birdie.&nbsp; I digress.....</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;I think a coin grade should speak for itself.&nbsp; Maybe these designations should be what keeps a coin at a lower grade.&nbsp;&nbsp; I see MS67 and 68 all day that don&#039;t have them, yet MS64-66 do? </p><p><br /></p><p>But maybe it can create another collector niche which I guess is good.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
