I agree with AU 55.
It appears to be lightly circulated before pull out of circulation.
Not FB.

AU-58, not FSB. What is the weird little metal clips on the edges? Never noticed that on a PCGS.

This is my only Rattler holder, but it seems they're just the 'clips' that hold the coin.

I've never noticed those little metal clips before.
What a horrid idea.

Rattler holders did not usually have prongs...hence, the reason why the coin was able to rotate within the holder.
Grade-wise, AU58, might go full bands in an old holder, nice toning.

Ok, I took a look at those 'clips' with my loupe (10x), and it seems they aren't metal. They appear to be either clear plastic or silicone, and the lighting in my pics make them look like they have metal in them. As I rotated the loupe, depending upon how the light hits them, they can look like wire clips, but they aren't.

IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

 Wouldn't seem to be (have been) a likely candidate for TPG. |

I should have included these in the original post. The original pics are with a ringlight, which tends to show a coin's colors best. These add'l pics are with an angled light, which tends to show luster best. Yes, they look like two different coins, but they are the same.   |

What the heck - I'll say MS63. Weak hair details are from a worn die as the metal flow lines are very apparent. |

Thanks, but still a very mundane coin, gigantic mintage, not worth TPG fees.  |

One day 1943 will be a special date like the Civil War dates are today, imho. The most valuable 20th century coin is dated 1943.  IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better.
