<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Tim C, post: 3451561, member: 71569&quot;]Stage D is NOT the ADR-001 in James Wiles’ book.&nbsp; The variety becomes ADR-001 only at Stage E, period.&nbsp; The photo I uploaded came from Wiles’ book, “The Kennedy Half Dollar Book, An Attribution and Pricing Guide”</p><p><br /></p><p>Please note that the master listing for the 1966 Kennedy half dollar DDO-002 for Stage E (VLDS) states that: Bridge of nose and eye abraded away, Designer’s initials abraded away.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The Cherrypickers’ Guide (Page 312 , Fifth Edition Volume II) clearly cross references the ADR-001 to the FS-901 and has the description of, “The designer’s initials on the reverse are <b><u>totally missing</u></b>.”&nbsp; The Cherrypickers’ Guide qualified the requirements of the variety being an FS-901 further then the CONECA listings by stating that the FG on the reverse are totally missing instead of just the designer’s initials abraded away.&nbsp; Not sure what is so hard to understand about being “totally missing” or how you fail to comprehend this simple requirement.</p><p><br /></p><p>FS numbers are established by the authors, editor and publisher of the Cherrypicker’s Guide, not by PCGS, NGC or any other third-party grading company.</p><p><br /></p><p>The PCGS SP68 specimen on eBay labeled as the FS-901 is mis attributed period, the FG is not totally missing and if your coin matches this one then it is also not the FS-901[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
