InfiniteInterest Pillar of the Community United States 673 Posts	Posted 05/10/2009 9:45 pm This coin should go a bit nicer than the 49 I posted. I also got this one for the eye appeal, but it is alot nicer than the 49. I think this one is a strong MS-63, maybe a shot at 64. It has pretty strong Bell Lines, but of course a couple small hits across them would probably not get this one a FBL sticker. What do you all think ? As a side note...We have right now at the shop, a Dansco Type Coin album that is about to be broken out...From what I have seen of it, a superb collection of AU+ coins- and complete ! I will try to get some pics of the coins in this collection. Report this Post to the Staff

vermontensium Moderator United States 16677 Posts	Posted 05/10/2009 10:44 pm Nice looking russet tone. Slightly too many marks IMO to make MS64. MS63. swcoin.ecrater.com Report this Post to the Staff

rustyboy Valued Member United States 278 Posts	Posted 05/11/2009 06:54 am The bell lines get quite light on the left hand side. I doubt it gets the FBL. Report this Post to the Staff

biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 05/12/2009 12:49 pm I will go out on a limb and call it MS-64, I do not see any large distracting marks that would keep it at 63, only small scattered ones. The toning really makes this one stand out and I certainly would consider it nice enough to put in my Franklin Dansco Quote: Don't the hits on the lines prevent FBL designation? Some minor weakness is allowed by the bell crack due to the fact that even the real thing has bell line weakness at the crack. Also, some minor ticks are allowed but a larger ding will keep it from FBL status. There is a diagonal bag mark just above the clapper that crosses the bottom two lines. IMO, that would keep this one from FBL. Edited by biokemist6 05/12/2009 12:49 pm Report this Post to the Staff
