<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lehigh96, post: 3744519, member: 15309&quot;]Ok, so this coin is a trick.&nbsp; The grade is MS67 but it resides in an NGC Old Fatty holder which predates the 5FS designation.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/pfrv65e.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>So the question is do I send it into NGC for designation review?&nbsp; Based on the poll, there were 20 total responses that shook out as follows:</p><p><br /></p><p>No 5FS:&nbsp; 13</p><p>Yes 5FS:&nbsp; 7</p><p><br /></p><p>The average 1943-S MS67 runs about $50, but an MS67 5FS jumps to about $300.&nbsp; To me this is more than enough justification to spend the $12 for the designation review in my next submission.&nbsp; As for it&#039;s chances, I&#039;m not optimistic because of the small inclusion between the 3rd and 4th step between the first two pillars.&nbsp; The weakness of the 4th step under the 3rd pillar is evident but IMO doesn&#039;t constitute a break in the steps.&nbsp; Under a loupe, the steps look full, it was only when I looked at the photo that I saw the small inclusion.&nbsp; The problem is that I am asking them specifically to look at the steps, so they probably won&#039;t miss it.&nbsp; If I send it to PCGS, it would certainly get the FS designation, but would have very little chance at MS67.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
