Roosies - Would you prefer MS65FB or MS67 for your registry

rlawsha

If you were building a registry set and you had a chance to get either a MS65FB coin or a MS67 (non full bands) which would you choose? Assuming PCGS is awarding 2 points for a FB designation both coins would give the same number of points.

67, always, for me.

Forgetting about price, I would go for the 67 hands down - much cleaner strike and fewer marks on the coin.

I prefer the higher grade to the additional qualifiers for the same reasons already mentioned.

MS67 and then I would be set for when a non-FB Registry set was available.

It depends on the two coins... also, how non-FB is the 67? For example, this is a 66 no FB, but it's basically as close as I've ever seen to something missing the designation:



As always, it's an issue of which coin is simply nicer--I don't care about points (then again, you asked about it being for a registry )

67...seems like a no-brainer to me

Collect 67's but stick to one's with nearly full bands. Kinda like hig-end RB copper. Almost full red for much less than RD.

I'll get whatever looks better, and whatever I can afford. Are you starting a collection now also?

Here is the reverse of coin I am thinking about. It is a 1982 "NO P" that is in a PCGs MS67 holder.

Looks nice to me.

Might as well show the obverse....

I would also agree with MS67 quality of MS65FB.

Roosies 67 of course - if you meant merc's 65 is more than sufficient and expensive


jeremy - your dime is FB - grader must have snoozed.
