How close is this to FBL??
image


when its tilted side to side, it looks full to me, but I dont know the series well......does it have to be from straight on?

    Tom:

    There are a couple of weak spots on the left side of the bell lines, but I don't think they'd preclude the coin from an FBL designation - what year is it?

    It would depend if I submit it or not... Oh wait that's not FBL that's if you want an AU58!!!image
    It is not exactly cheating, I prefer to consider it creative problem solving!!!

    Looks like it would go FBL to me... unless that spot near the left on the lowest two bands is a flat portion (don't think it is)

    when its tilted you can see all the lines, they are not strong, but they are there.
    Here is the obverse.

    Since I am interested in buying that coin I will say No Way is that an FBL! image
    Honestly, I think it would have no problems passing. Doesn't PCGS give a small area of weakness allowed on both sides of the crack?

    What is that by the 6, Ewwwww!

    It's probably a PCGS FBL, but I'm not sure about NGC. I can't tell if it's glare or flatness I'm seeing on the upper set of linesimage

    I prefer the term gack or skank, but its toining and its raised..............i dont think its corrosion as others have eluded to, but with a loop it looks colorful.......thinking of a dip or attempting to conserve just a portion



    I had a previous post about dipping off spots and not rainbow toning......

    wish it could work....i have never ever dipped a coin.......may try acetone on a q-tip though.

    Well, call me Mr Meanie, but the coin is a 64 at best??? Why not dip the hell out of it and see if the funky stuff runs down the sink.

    I dont want to dip off the good toning. and regarding it being a 64 at best, your probably right.
