Here is the newest of my raw coins to arrive. Picture quality is a little better, but I am seeing that the LED lighting is washing out some of the details, still. I think I need a bit warmer of a light, and I will play with that a bit more.

As to the coin itself, fairly standard year and mintage, but is a strong strike that is very lustrous. Even more so than the pictures show, full bands are visible for all three pairs. It is nicely toned, which is a little more clear on the reverse. Have provided a 90-degree rotation on the obverse to hopefully show the detail in the bright spots. Still slightly out of focus, which is that horrid gooseneck that came with this scope.

I picked this up in the ten dollar range, because of the strong indication of bands in the seller's picture.

I'll lead off with 64, not FSB. Looks like some chatter on neck, cheek and lower left obverse field. The bands issue usually relates to the diagonal ones - the lower one here does not stand in much relief to the vertical ones.
