J. Morris Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 I have a ms 67 1964 d type 1 reverse straight G with broken rays that is an obvious type 1 proof reverse. NGC recognizes the proof type1 straight G reverse, why not the Ms version when it's recognized in the coneca Master listings? This coin can be viewed in my lonesome dove collection, 1964 to present, circulation and proofs, including varieties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank gawd they haven’t completely drunk the Wexler Kool-Aid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J. Morris Posted April 7, 2022 Author Share Posted April 7, 2022 Yes,I agree, but when one has an obvious variety, why not recognize it no matter who you are? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J. Morris Posted April 7, 2022 Author Share Posted April 7, 2022 If Your going to attribute one variety over another, then attribution is a completely arbitrary and capricious! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member: Seasoned Veteran DWLange Posted April 7, 2022 Member: Seasoned Veteran Share Posted April 7, 2022 This question arose several years ago, and I consulted with James Wiles (VarietyVista) about the MS striking of the Type 1 Reverse. He told me that it's not rare. In fact, the proof edition is not rare either, but it forms a minority of the proofs and is popular. The same can't be said for the MS version.

Regardless of what you or I think NGC is free to run their business in the way they feel is best. It sounds like from the explanation given by Mr. Lange that it was reviewed and the decision was made to not include it based on the information about this variety in MS. Certainly you are free to check around and have the coin encapsulated by another TPG if there is one that recognizes this variety.

J. Morris Posted April 7, 2022 Author Share Posted April 7, 2022 Here is another anomaly. This is a 1964 proof 69 straight G, broken G, with ddo and ddr. Very unique! Of the tens of thousands of Kennedy proofs I've gone through I've never seen anything like it. I'm on the road now, and don't have any of the ddo ddr pics. I'll make a note to send you at another time. You will notice the doubling on F G. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True die doubling will appear on multiple coins and you should have several other examples in the "tens of thousands" you've went through. I doubt such a coin like the one you claim you have truly exists. Your coin is only a straight G to my eyes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J. Morris Posted April 8, 2022 Author Share Posted April 8, 2022 There are numerous varieties with very few examples known! I would have had to find this example in the same run, which I did not! I'm sure there maybe other examples.that have not been found. Ana governor Michael Ellis found it very interesting ( at the national money show) and thought I should submit it to coneca.I just thought maybe someone else had some input into the straight G and the split G.

EVERY SINGLE VARIETY imaginable would be mind boggling. Honestly who in their right mind cares about any and every minuscule nuance? Generally speaking, and I’m not saying it’s you, people today want to claim a variety on everything and want it to be rare so they can have a valuable coin. They don’t want to put the time and effort into building a collection to be proud of, they want to hit it rich out of the gate. That’s not the way it works and will never be the way it works. If that ever becomes the case this hobby is dead. Plain and simple. Fenntucky Mike 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
