spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 06/01/2017 11:46 pm From what I understand, the scratch and ding would disqualify it from FBL (I could be wrong). There may also be weakness on the top row left of the scratch. And it looks like a die crack maybe (or a hair?) at the bottom that runs up into the lower lines. I don't know how a die crack will affect the designation. Basically, I told you nothing.

T-BOP Rest in Peace United States 18456 Posts	Posted 06/02/2017 08:38 am I believe It's not FBL because lines are broken by die cracks , hits, or scratches . Report this Post to the Staff

moxking Rest in Peace United States 17900 Posts	Posted 06/02/2017 2:40 pm It's very close to FBL and I can see why you would ask. Nice example, in any case. Report this Post to the Staff
nfine Pillar of the Community United States 3475 Posts	Posted 06/02/2017 2:45 pm NGC and PCGS seem to have very different criteria for FBL. Report this Post to the Staff
Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 06/02/2017 5:28 pm Agree, but this doesn't appear to be FBL in any case. Report this Post to the Staff
