<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Leadfoot, post: 442152, member: 2972&quot;]The point I was trying (and apparently failed) to make was that the FS label is granted based on an arbitrary detail comprising 1% of the coin yet it is the focus of a huge increase in price (just like FH or FBL or FT).&nbsp;&nbsp; To wit, the obverse or dome or other feature of Monticello can be weak yet if the steps are there it is an FS coin&nbsp; --- to me that&#039;s arbitrary.&nbsp;&nbsp; Again to me, this is a type conditional rarity, and not a true rarity.&nbsp; That&#039;s not to say that FS coins aren&#039;t rare, nor that they don&#039;t deserve a premium, but rather that a single (arbitrary) detail was chosen and a huge premium attached to this detail being fully struck...Mike[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
