Please let me know if you'd like any other pictures. I don't see a single mark on the coin, and I don't think I own a nicer candidate for FB, even at this resolution. What do you think? Thank you in advance.   |

Above mid if not high MS and FB from what I see.  |

I'm thinking MS-65 or higher, with FB.
Errers and Varietys.

I would personally call that FB. I think it might be a crapshoot with the TPGs because of the way that contact bump has deformed the straight line, even though the line is technically uninterrupted.

this coin is posted in the wrong forum. it should be in the US Classic and Colonial Coins forum. if the admin see it, please move it.
keep in mind that the FB designation is only for the center band. the center of the middle band may be interrupted. the good thing is that I've seen worse receive the designation.
there are a few weak areas on both sides as well as some crossing marks across both diagonal bands. it may hold the grade back to MS64

panzaldi, and CCF, my apologies for the erroneous forum location. I'm certainly aware this isn't a modern... Thank you for your detailed analysis, panzaldi. I'd wondered about the weak strike in the legend in particular, personally. |

based on the closeup of the middle band I think it makes the FB designation. the other couple areas of weakness are WE and the hair right around the face. those may only be 1/2pt total. taking a second look at the overall coin I think its borderline 65. it is a fairly common coin even in MS66 so the value would not warrant slabbing just place her in album with her sisters or put her in an airtite to protect her. |
