Coinasaur New Member United States 4 Posts	Posted Today 13H 22M ago After looking at examples on PCGS , it seems some of them have a faint FG still slightly visible. Does anyone know the level of weak FG they will accept as a FS-901 ? Thanks in advance for any information. Report this Post to the Staff

snailking1 Pillar of the Community United States 1499 Posts	Posted Today 12H 25M ago My understanding: There can be absolutely no trace of FG to be considered FS-901 Report this Post to the Staff
Coinasaur New Member United States 4 Posts	Posted Today 11H 47M ago I completely agree and standards for variety should be strict . But you can find the 3rd example on PCGS price guide under #415500 MS65RD FS-901. Am I wrong to call this out ? Looks like a very WEAK FG. Thanks in advance for your time and any information shared.

Now I need to go do my own to see if there is a match. https://www.pcgs.com/coinfacts/coin...01-bn/415498 This variety is caused by an over polished die, did you check to see if the roof is floating or not?

snailking1 Pillar of the Community United States 1499 Posts	Posted Today 8H 26M ago Even PCSG makes mistakes sometimes. The FS-901 designation is for no FG, doesn't actually include the "floating roof" Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 99409 Posts	Posted Today 7H 16M ago Quote: The FS-901 designation is for no FG, doesn't actually include the "floating roof" You are correct on that. I was just curious if it was - a lot of times when the FG is erased, so are the uprights of the roof is too. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget.
