MS-62, not FBL.



to the CCF!

The Type 1 is signified by four pointy wing feathers to the left of the perch while the Type 2 has three rounded wing feathers to the left of the perch.Also, looks like MD not a doubled die.

Just for educational purposes, it is close to FBL, but the hit to the far left of the lower set of lines is what kills it for sure. The angled line just to the left og the crack may or may not be a disqualifier as well.

Also, when we talk about FBL, there are four schools of thought on qualifying.

1) - For PCGS and ANACS, only the lower set of lines have to be complete
2) - For NGC, both upper and lower sets need to be complete
3) - Old school collectors look for complete upper and lower sets, AND the 3 wisps of hair by his ear need to be well defined.
4) - For ebay sellers, there has to be a line visible on any coin within a 5 mile radius of the sellers, or your home, for their coin to be an FBL. (J/K, but it sure seems that way sometimes!)

As for the Bugs Bunny variety, which I think should have been called the "Vampire" variety, you can see one of mine here: http://goccf.com/t/291471
