Here is my most recent find... what do you think?
How do you think will it grade ? I know pictures are not good enough for FBL comments, but please give thoughts on overall
look at the fields and devices. Picked it up for peanuts.

    Could be a very nice coin...can you provide better images? Cheers, RickO

    No better images available...as I do not have coin yet.

    Very few if any marks on this coin... just hope it
    it is not cleaned as it may have a shot at 66.

    Should have in my hands in a few days...

    it looks very clean
    -ed

    based upon the un-natural luster bands
    and absolute lack of marks

    No way to tell with those images....the lighting could be hiding a ton of marks or worse....altered surfaces. I am not optomistic that the coin will be what you want it to be image

    Hey Krypto....

    Just sharing a recent purchase that could be a great find or not.
    The seller actually had two that looked very similar, so I bought them both!

    Worst case is that they are cleaned and have lots of marks in which case I send them back
    as the seller has agreed.

    Best case is they are for real and I send them into TPG and one or both comes back 66 FBL. I replace my
    1949D MS65 FBL Registry coin with one of the MS66FBL's and sell the other one for $7,000.

    Not a bad business proposition in my book!

    If those are the sellers images, best of luck!
    I decided to change calling the bathroom the John and renamed it the Jim. I feel so much better saying I went to the Jim this morning.



    The name is LEE!

    A little optimistic maybe.

    Just from the photos, it looks kinda lifeless. But, I hope it turns out the way you hope.

    The surfaces do not look natural ... If that's how they really look, the coin is only junk silver.

    Impossible to tell from those pics, but I hope you get a nice one.
    Highly unlikely that it will be a 66 tho.
