numismaniac Valued Member United States 361 Posts	Posted 04/23/2013 9:19 pm Always hard to tell from a pic but my guess would be MS65 FSB. I am sure some folks with better skills will give their opinions as well. I will be curious to see if they agree or tell me I am way off. Report this Post to the Staff

panzaldi Bedrock of the Community United States 18635 Posts	Posted 04/24/2013 5:00 pm I'm going to go MS65 FSB also. I can't tell, however, if thats a little wear on lower diagonal band. sweet coin! Report this Post to the Staff
Jaobler Pillar of the Community United States 6381 Posts	Posted 04/24/2013 5:02 pm Looks mint state and I agree bands are full. The nick in the reverse field and faint diagonal scratch across Liberty's cheek would limit the grade somewhat, otherwise a gem grade might be possible. I wonder why the feather detail on the cap wing is so weak. With the reverse strike very solid it seems strange that there isn't sharper detail on the feathers. Is this perhaps typical for the series in general or this date in particular? Report this Post to the Staff
