    Weakness toward the crack plus the hit across the bottom of the upper lines say no.

    Going by the photo I think not. In hand it might be. Hard to tell by just the photo on one so close. Light at a different angle may expose complete lines.

    I lean towards no.

    Perhaps looks much better in hand but in the photograph, it is close and does not appear to be FBL.

    No, based on the photo

    By which standard? By NGC, no. By PCGS, likely no.

    Based on photo, no because of slight bridges in lower left lines. Need slightly more magnification. Hits on upper lines are inconsequential.

    Some refer to overgraded slabs as Coffins. I like to think of them as Happy Coins.

    Agreed, weakness to the left of the crack is a no.

    I would say it will not get FBL.... based on the observations noted above... That is one, that if it were mine, would not even have been considered for the designation. Cheers, RickO

    I got to go with the crowd here, close but no cigar (FBL).
