<p>[QUOTE="Puddin'Farts, post: 3436364, member: 100439"]Problem solved...and actually rather funny. The FS-901 is always referred to as the NO FG, however, Coneca lists the FS-901 in 5 separate stages depending on the die state. I believe that your question about the R of LIBERTY is a clue to either an entirely new Die State, or a fine line between two known die states. In Stage D, the F is "very faint to gone"(says nothing about the G), and in Stage E, the nose and eye are abraded like mine, yet it says "Initials Abraded Away". So that answers the "dots" I mentioned from the G. The same characteristics of the Sole Top Pop SP68. Maybe being the earliest state of the "No FG" is that in between? Either way, the die pairing is FS-901. The NO FG title is trivial to the issue because only in the latest die stage does it say both initials are Abraded away according to Coneca. Obviously the desirability drives up if ALL of the initials are gone, but to get to that point, it would almost have to be VVLSD...Very VERY late die state, in which you would likely end up with a lower grade.[ATTACH=full]912288[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
