The Obverse: This has nice nice yellowish Golden toning.....

The Reverse: Super Clean and almost nik free.

The Bell Lines:

Grade it! I bought this coin raw for 11 dollars.

I agree with the above... but even low very low grade MS its worth much more than $11.

relayer · January 11, 2003 11:05AM

65 no FBL

coppercoins · January 11, 2003 11:06AM

Looks like a 64 to me. PCGS might give it FBL, but it doesn't quite look like it to me.

Placid · January 11, 2003 11:07AM

AU58

Geoman · January 11, 2003 11:12AM

Either MS65FBL or MS64FBL.

Ronyahski · January 11, 2003 11:12AM

An 64FBL scan to me.

IrishMike · January 11, 2003 11:23AM

It probably wouldn't go FBL at NGC, with PCGS a crapshoot.

Tonelover · January 11, 2003 11:28AM

I too will go with AU-58. Being a first year issue coming from a new master die detail is usually strong. However, there's a small flat spot above and to the right of the ear, and a large area of apparant rub below the cheek. If they graded it Unc then I'll say MS-62 FBL. Don't make me look bad now.

MrKelso · January 11, 2003 11:52AM

MS64

JMOORE · January 11, 2003 11:54AM

MrKelso do you have inside information??

fcloud · January 11, 2003 11:58AM

MS63

This coin graded ms64FBL. As always, tough to make a call from pics and scans, especially when I am the one making them... This is a pretty golden coin that has to be seen in person. I agree with this one being a solid ms64 and not a bad find for 11 dollars....The bottom row of Bell Lines which is what PCGs looks at is strong and un-interupted. You will notice some weakness in the upper row of lines to the left of the bell, this still may pass at NGC and I'll tell you why, I went to a coin store today in Santa Fe and the dealer had NGC FBL's... And these were very sorry examples! Atleast ten that I saw did not deserve the FBL designation. NGC has consistency issue as well. And this coin that I would have shown, would in all likely hood go a ms65 with them. This is not a knock on NGC, they have many wonderful coins...

65FBL

No i have been reading up on Grading again. I have been ripping the house apart looking for my photograde book as i found that most helpful.
