I would choose No.2 only because I prefer NGC slabs. No.1 & No.5 are good choices also as you can always send them to CAC yourself intead of paying the premium, unless your rich and foolish. The NGC star most likey is not an FT, but more than likey indicates eye appealing toning or prooflike characteristics.

William,
I would choose the MS 67 FT, option 2, but you do bring up a great point.

William,

Good points. I would think a star (and possible now a plus!) would have to be FT.

I think I’d have to choose the MS67 NGC Star. Star status usually
applies to a coin with considerably higher quality and in return considerably higher value. I also think that a star graded coin would be FT.

I would choose the very first option.

1. 1946-S MS67 FB PCGS
