What do y'all think of this one. Any ideas on value, grade, and eye appeal. I kind of like the birth mark on her cheek.   |

I would say it has to be at least MS65/66 FSB but one can never be sure. Ed ANA LM-3175 |

MS66 FB but of course that's just a guess especially since the pic of the obverse has a lot of shadowing and some glare. On Liberty's wings near the tips, are those blemishes I see or is that (they look dark gray and dull in comparison to the luster)?

I'd say probably MS65FB or MS66FB, looks like a new PCGS holder. '44-D is almost always well struck and nice looking, so they're not going to give any slack if the bands aren't cleanly split. Looks like a lateish die state, so I'm sure the luster on the obverse is beautiful in hand. The haze on the reverse is kinda funny, I guess it was at the end of a roll or in some kind of old folder at some point.

Here is a shot without a paper filter. Look at the dark mark at about three o'clock on the back of her head. Does that indicate cleaning or some thing else?  |

That dark mark is a normal stain found on many Silver Coins. I know it distracts from possibly a MS-65 or -66 but the rest of the coins appearance should make up for that. I noticed it is in a slab. Got to go with MS-66 though.

That is a sweet FSB dime..Doesn't look cleaned to me , from the pics at least..The spots may hurt eye appeal to some, but,not me! I'll say MS-65

Looks like a tiny of carbon milk spot at her dimple besides what is mentioned, the reverse has a weaker strikes around America.
I am thinking MS-65 FB.

The obverse is better than the reverse. I think it could get FB.

Look close at the jaw, upper neck and below the wing. With this lighting you can see another black spot in the ear. The spots are not carbon, their location is important. For some reason I did not pay attention to them before I sent the coin in for grading  |

Is this possibly a coin that has been re-plated? Sometimes black marks like that are gaps in plating.

The coin would not have made it into a PCGS holder if it had been plated.

I thought the lines were planchet striations. What do y'all think?  Here is a little closer look.  |

Here's one more closer look. My camera focuses automatically. I got the coin a little closer to the camera, so it's a better focus. It brings out all the details.   |
