Greetings all...just seeing what you folks think of this pretty lady. As usual, hard to see, but it has a bright silky luster with mild goldish toning particularly on edges/peripheral. Seems to be FSB, with middle bread slices having a small shadow maybe due to discoloration/light deflection, or slight narrowing. Up close looks split. Either way a nice sample IMO. Nice strike for its age. So have at it:

nice strike but to me it looks like this one saw a little circulation. missing luster on the cheek and some marks on that collar. a little rub on the high points of the wing. I don't think it makes FSB or FB based on that last photo.

AU58. still a nice coin. i'd much have a nice AU58 than a crappy MS62 or even 63 any day

I'll say MS-64, not quite FSB.

I'm at an MS64 on this one. Just a hair flat in the center, no FSB in my book, but it might squeeze by.

I'm at MS65, but FSB is questionable on the center. Middle looks to touch on one of the photos.

MS-84, nice coin, but NOT FSB. There is no "almost", it either is Fully Split or isn't. Sorry, no cigar. (I'm picky).
