hard to tell from the photos, but I'm guessing 65fb

FB for sure. MS64-65. Nice coin.

64 at best and FB or no FB really makes no difference.

64 to 66

Middle band looks "iffy" to me. Otherwise, MS65 all
day long.

Ken, what in your mind limits the coin to a 64? If it's that area around E. Pluribus Unum, I'm not sure what is going on in the photo, as the luster flows completely through that area in real life.

Here is what I paid for the coin and what NCI graded it in the 1980s.

From the photo and granted it is only a photo I see what you are talking about plus something on the cheek and neck. The small rim bumps do not help either. The diagonal bands on the reverse also appear to have some small hits.

Thats all........

Based on the photo, the coin is a 64. There appear to be a few hits on the obverse focal areas that should not be there for a 65. As far as the strike, FB is questionable based on the photo. The center of the band looks weak and the flash from the camera obscures the left side of the band.

Note: NCI grading in the late 1980s was not based on current standards so any comparison is invalid unless it is for historical purposes. Too bad they stabled the flip to the certificate...it was a nice certificate before that.
