dsfreeworld Pillar of the Community United States 4337 Posts	Posted 02/23/2013 7:56 pm would the middle and bottom make FSB? if it were a mint and year that rarely ever sees an FSB, would it make FSB versus a common FSB instance issue? thank you Report this Post to the Staff

westcoin Pillar of the Community United States 9792 Posts	Posted 02/23/2013 8:17 pm I only look at the middle set of bands, I don't think this one is rounded off enough nor seperated enough to make a FSB designation. But I'll defer to the Merc experts on this one. "Buy the Book Before You Buy the Coin" - Aaron R. Feldman - "And read it" - Me 2013!

If they're difficult in FSB, then they're expensive in FSB and a TPG would likely hold it to a higher standard. Report this Post to the Staff

dsfreeworld Pillar of the Community United States 4337 Posts	Posted 02/23/2013 9:42 pm thanks lads i agree as much as it hurts to say it its a lustrous 39-S def MS64 what a coin it would be full split but I guess 75% still makes it a good one to have Report this Post to the Staff
SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 02/23/2013 10:08 pm Ooooh. Yeah, they're a tad pricey in FB. Not quite 1945-P, but well more than double the value. Report this Post to the Staff
CaptainFwiffo Pillar of the Community United States 4132 Posts	Posted 02/23/2013 10:13 pm '39-S is one of the worst for strike of the later dates for sure (probably only '45-P is worse). Even non-FB seem harder than they ought to be in the better grades. Report this Post to the Staff
