    Mine is 66 FBL, maybe not added to the pops yet?

    How about # 145461, 1940-s/s 10c?

    Here is the pix.

    I think TT did a pretty good job capturing the opalescent colors on this one.

    Opalescent, that's a big word. Where's my dictionary?

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

    Not only is this piece opalescent - it`s a rare double die, and unlike 90% of the crap in 66 holders ; it`s a high end example with real nice luster , with superior eye appeal
    ....graded by old time standards . It also once was one of the centerpieces of a very top shelf Franklin specialists set .

    Not arguing with that, great looking coin and a real tough date to find this nice.

    MM is on the reverse, directly under the E of STATES.

    You betcha. Nobody but you and Frank Zappa (aka bushmaster) were astute enough to nab it. I knew it was a double die, but had to sell fast to keep up with Medical crap. I'm happy for Zappaimage As I said, a PQ coin.
