New PCGS slab, what grade do you think it deserves? Will post the PCGS grade later in the week.

trdhrdr007,

My guess MS63. Not an FSB coin. The upper and center bands are not quite complete. I also see flattened on the obverse and reverse devices (hairline and lettering) that appear to be from a weaker strike vs. wear.

If the mark between I and B of LIBERTY is a scratch, MS64. If it is lint, MS65 no FSB.

Not an FSB, & that is lint. I can't find any distracting marks on the coin but the strike is a little weak.

PCGS graded this one a MS66, NOT a FSB.
