We&nbsp; were fortunate to acquire a second AU53, and both an&nbsp; AU55 and an AU58,&nbsp; from another collector who obviously searched through a&nbsp; LOT of Kennedys&nbsp; to make these, and we were glad to pay his price, which&nbsp; was&nbsp; substantially lower than what we paid for our original piece. We&nbsp; have&nbsp; put the AU58 into our Registry Set. Make no mistake,&nbsp;&nbsp; folks, these are INCREDIBLY RARE BOTH IN AU and MINT STATE. The 1972-D&nbsp; No&nbsp; FG is also a quite misunderstood variety, as many examples of the&nbsp; issue&nbsp; show no trace of the FG due to grease and debris that slowly&nbsp; clogged the&nbsp; die. PCGS will NOT certify those coins. The true 1972-D No&nbsp; FG coins&nbsp; were created through extensive <b>die polishing, </b>visible on both&nbsp; the date&nbsp; area on the obverse and the tail area on the reverse, that&nbsp; removed all&nbsp; trace of the FG. PCGS will ONLY certify those few pieces&nbsp; as the FS-901&nbsp; 1972-D No FG. Please take a look at the reverse closeup&nbsp; on this AU55 piece, and the obverse on the AU58 in our Registry Set, for&nbsp; a&nbsp; better idea of what we mean. This AU55 is certified with the&nbsp; six-digit&nbsp; FS-901 PCGS variety number. PCGS gives this coin a Registry Set weight of 5&nbsp; points, indicating how rare it is. <i>Thanks a lot to our collector friend for the nifty closeups.</i> PCGS Population: 2 in 55, 5 finer&nbsp; (2/2012). Only two examples are known in Mint State, both MS63.
