It's not FBL, BTW. Thanks for any opinions.

AU-50 from the image.

If those marks in the left field are as heavy as they look in the pic, I'll guess 64
The reverse looks nice maybe 65. Can't tell from the pic if FBL

AU53

Either MS-63 or AU-58.

MS62-63 at best. I don't know where the XF and AU50 grades come from?

IMO,

Its either Ms-62 or Au-58. Depends if the high point friction/rub has begun to wear into the surface metal, or just taken off the luster in those areas. Difficult to tell from this photo, but easily to determine with coin in hand.

If rub has produced wear pots, even only at the very highest and lightest contact points then it will 58. If not and is Minstate then I cant see it getting higher than Ms-62

The hair in front of the ear looks like wear and not a weak strike. Also, the cheek by the mouth looks like it has a little rub. Tough to tell from a photo, however.

AU is my guess.

Images make it tough to attempt calling a grade.
