I think MS66FB is right, but we will see. Calling them scratches is probably not the correct term.

Die polish lines are common with the 40's. I'm missing this variety.
Great pick up HumblePie. The FB seem a little weak to me.

The 502 is a very tough find. This is the first I have come across in MS, very few in circ. The die polish lines are a good way to find this one. |

I guess I would have to instruct PCGS to not holder without 66 and FB...I think you can do that?

PCGS probably will be a little more discerning than NGC. the marks in front of the face look to be a heavy handed die polisher. PCGS should know this so I think it should still retain its grade. FB is really weak, as stated already, but I think they would still designate it.
if you look at the PCGS example for FS-502 those polish lines are there in the exact same place and the example shown is listed as FB and its not even as separated as yours.
imo its worth trying to get the designation. the difference is retail price is 10x for the variety. good luck and post her if you send it in

I'd leave it in the NGC holder.

Absolutely no reason to cross it IMO unless you've got a PCGS Registry Set slot for that particular variety that you need to fill or you are dead set on having the variety on the holder.

Why not just used NGC Variety Designation $18 fee and reholder, unless you're in PCGS club already.

My only reasoning to justify a PCGS crossover attempt on this coin is NGC shows 4 of this variety graded in MS66FB, and PCGS only has 1 graded at MS66FB, you could argue that mine would be a better copy than the 1 graded at PCGS.

Wouldn't a person willing to shell out $1,750 for this coin know that it is the 502 and its position in the condition census anyway? Otherwise why would they pay $1,750 for this coin. If you list it for sale, just say what it is in the listing and people who are interested will know what it is.
The only reason to cross it would be to sell to someone putting together a PCGS registry set. In that case it makes sense but it could come back in a details holder. Not likely but who knows?
I would sell it as an unattributed FS-502 and let another gambler try to cross it.
IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

Do I see a slightly doubled "S" with a die chip or am I just wishful thinking? Nice, nice coin!

Your solution to just add a sticker to the NGC slab showing the FS# is a good one.
