These are not my photos. Hoping to have the coin in my hand by this weekend. I wanted to see what you guys thought on grade from the photos that I have. Sorry for the quality, but this is what was given to me. I'll post my photos once I receive the dime. Thanks.   |

I don't see a bit of rub nor any luster breaks nor any evidence of dipping or cleaning.
I'd say it's a nice medium no problem MS 63.
I'm not sure on a FSB designation as it might be a little light on the strike at the center, but that might also be the angle of the light.

Other than the toning, it's pretty much mark free, MS-65, maybe better.

65FSB (the band is not marked, just lightly struck?) IMO

I mean, the pics are not sharp, but I don't see sny evident marks, and the luster is apparent. I'd agree with 65, can't see enough detail to say FB.

Well, I'd be even if the coin is MS65FB. Anything worse and it's a bad purchase. My gut tells me that it will be better than the photos show, so fingers crossed!... and toes and everything else for that matter, lol.
I'll put up better photos as soon as it comes in. Thanks again everyone for your input.

I have to knock it a point for eye appeal. MS64. pics not clear enough to determine bands

I'm going on a limb and saying that (IF) it's in a TPG holder, it ended up grading a MS66FSB, maybe even 67FSB but I doubt it. Kind of has that prooflike look to it, but this is an easy MS65FSB |

I have to tell you. I'm not a fan of this type of toning. to me it's bad eye appeal.
that said ; I grade it MS-66 FSB

Kind of has that prooflike look to it, but this is an easy MS65FSB We're thinking the same thing and that's why I took the gamble on the coin. It just looked super clean and kinda prooflike... from the photos of course. Hopefully it is a rewarding decision. Quote:

see a 63-64 agree with panzaldi that eye appeal might hold it back
