Hello everyone I purchased a 1959 mint set a few weeks ago and found this amazing 59 d half as well as a 59p black beauty I submitted to the official BB thread, anyway submitting this one for grading, I be6 this example would qualify for FBL and a pretty high grade , it is still in the original cello I hope that is ok, thank you in advance for your insight

The plastic is obscuring too much of the coin's surfaces for me to get a good feel.

I think it is close to FBL but might fall short at a TPG becuase of the softness of the lines on the left next to the crack on the upper set of lines.
Rest in Peace

Nice coin! Just a question. Is that damage on the coin through the cellophane @ 12 O'clock in the rev?

Can't really see if the bottom bell line is complete. Can you tilt the coin and take a pic?

The cello is just crinkled alittle at 12 on the rev, I agree that the lines do look alittle soft but when compared to high Ms examples on PCGS the lines Look deeper that an ms67FBL I have included a rev screenshot of that coin for comparison, I looked through many years and it looks like for the 59d they are alittle more lenient on the lines or are the pictures messing with my eyes?

Looks like weak lines around the crack.
