Hey folks,

What do you think this one would grade?

Also, there are polished die lines on the obverse and reverse, how much would that factor in for grading in your opinion?

Thanks!

MS-64. Good eye appeal with blazing luster.
Suffering from bust half fever.

I think Coinfrog may have meant FLAT BANDS.

MS66. If it was 67FB this would be a $50K coin.
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."

Close doesn't count when it comes to FSB (only hand grenades and horseshoes).
I'll say MS-64 on this one.
