Nice pics, but not FBL to me given the chatter to the left of the crack on bottom lines.

I will say MS 65, no FBL. For FBL, no marks are allowed to 'break' the lines.

You should have posted the updated pictures to your original thread, NOT start a new thread.

After you add new pictures to your old thread, you would then send a note to staff and moderators could then edit your title to added "New Pictures". That way the discussion is kept on one thread. |

I would say this is a solid MS-64 but can't weigh in on FBL. Looks like it's just dripping with luster!

Very nice Ben. But no FBL from any TPG. I'd be happy to have it in my book. A side note on TPG's and FBL's - PCGS & ANACS only consider the lower set of lines for FBL qualification. NGC requires both upper and lower line sets when being considered for FBL. I believe all three also require the 3 hair strands of Ben's sideburns to be complete and separated in FBL designations (not sure if it is all 3 TPG's that require it, but from a technical standpoint, they should show no/minimal wear). From what I also understand, there is leeway in the lower bell lines of 1/64th of an inch to the left of the crack in the bell, but I personally want nothing breaking the lines when I'm looking at/for a FBL. I think there is also leeway along the very bottom edge of the bell, but not 100% sure on that. |
