Message:: [QUOTE="19Lyds, post: 2789317, member: 15929"]I created another email for PCGS and decided to add Ken Potter and Bill Fivaz to the CC List. Bill responded almost immediately and forwarded my email to the man in charges of CPG 6/2. I specifically requested that the "T" in Liberty be included for FS-103 since that one have as many imposters as does the FS-106. (i.e. ARED DDO-009, DDO-010, and DDO-011 in addition to some unknown and as of yet discovered pieces. Since the Obverse Dies had a striking life of 2,500 coins and 4,265,234 proofs were produced, it is possible that as many as 1,706 individual dies were used. Of course, this figure does not address the fact that "some" of the dies were reworked to add frosting which would probably bring the figure down to around 1,500 Obverse dies.) I also requested that the "R" in LIBERTY be specifically included with the FS-106 since the doubling on that coin looks similar, as pointed out, to a different die variety that has a "serifed" R. At the very minimum, include a not indicating the FS-106 ONLY comes with a PegLeg R thereby pointing the attributer in that direction. My feeling, is that whomever was creating the Dies for the Proof coins, made some "consistent" errors while placing the working die in the press which would explain the similarities in the two dies.[/QUOTE]
