[QUOTE="gboulton, post: 1496082, member: 27043"]Thanks for the comments, gang. :) And yes, I agree Morgan...a fairly easily obtained MS set, with the exception of the 53S. I should have mentioned that exception in my OP as well. In MS64 it will likely remain well out of my price range for the foreseeable future, so that one coin will likely wind up being the nicest 63 I can find. I'm also hoping it will make a nice compliment to my existing complete Kennedy set, working backwards in time as it were. :) I still maintain NGC's tighter standards for the FBL designation result in their FBLs being better struck coins as a general rule. Strike, however, seems the only thing we disagree on. Regarding eye appeal, I said as much...PCGS's 64s are, imo, generally more attractive for the grade, and closer to what I would grade as a 64 myself. In fact, I specifically pointed out that NGC coins hold less eye appeal for me as a general rule.[/QUOTE]
