Nice coin ksteelheader. Smooth cheek and fields, nice luster and I like the light touch of toning. I don't know if NGC would give it FBL (in my experience PCGS is a little more generous) but I think it's got a shot a MS-66FBL.

Nice Frankie ksteelheader.

I think it will make 64, possibly 65. Either way, FBL. See enough baggies on the bell and cheek to keep it away from 66 territory.

Nice frankie. I don't think it will make FBL, though. Looks like there are too many marks crossing the lines.

MS64FBL is my gut instinct, unless that scratch just to the left of the crack is deep and blocks the FBL.

The scratch is barely seen by the naked eye. The lighting for photography just makes it look worse....Ken

Ken - as tough as they're grading these days - Id have to say MS65FBL shot 66. It's a beautiful coin either way!

MS64, and a pq coin at that grade. I'd be a little disappointed to receive it as a 65, or with FBL desig, although IMO it is close. nice coin, just a bit too much activity to make GEM but hey, on a good day...
