What do you think the grading Gods would give this coin. My opinion is MS66 FBL but I SUCK!

    High end MS65, shot 66 depending on luster. Have to see the coin in hand to determine FBL, looks a little weak on the lower lines left of the crack.

    That baby is hammered...I would say FBL...and if I were grading it would be at least a 66...but I am not grading so you know they will knock it down to a 65 FBL.

    The Bell lines are actually a little weak for a D mint 58. But I've seen plenty of Franklins, with less, get a FBL from PCGS.
    The coin does look to warrant the 65 grade with a shot at 66 if the luster is there.

    I am guessing MS66 no FBL, if the luster is good.

    I see a solid 65 with a 50-50 shot at FBL- I have seen worse get it, and better not get it. I do like the look of this coin.

    I do not know if they hold D mints to a higher satndard, but it looks a liitle weak in the lines left of the crack for a d- mint.
    Also looks a little weak in the 3 wisps of hair on the obv.
    I agree with others about luster deciding the 65/66.

    Whether it goes 66 or not depends on the lustre, which I can't see in the picture. Nice mint set toner though.

    65.

    Second grade 64.
    Some refer to overgraded slabs as Coffins. I like to think of them as Happy Coins.
