What's your opinion on the bell lines will pcgs give it a fbl or the ding at the center will hold it back?
Thank you

I think it's more than just that "line" in the middle that will keep it from FBL. Looks like there are a lot of Dings/Scratches across the bell lines.

I agree with Marve. I'd say no to FBL's. Just my opinion.

there are all kinds of hairlines across all devices on both sides. either coin was wiped with something to buff it, or it was whizzed.

UNC details (cleaned)
