Alex12780 Valued Member United States 344 Posts	Posted 12/07/2016 11:45 am I'm wondering how much of a difference does FB or FT make on a dime's grade and price range. Would an MS-66FT be worth more and wanted more often than an MS67 without a FT? Or is the higher grade always desired? Report this Post to the Staff

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 12/07/2016 12:42 pm I think FB FT means a stronger more full strike. I would want a 66FT before a 67,IMHO. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
