I was really hoping for 65+ but I'm pleased either way.
This coin is a really good example of the clash that creates the variety.
You can even see the partial e pluribus unum behind Bens portrait.
If I was fluent in photoshop I would overlay the clash on the reverse.

Very nice!
Wonder why it's showing as a pop 1? I know of one other in 65FBL.

My guess is the pop has not updated with this new one yet. This being the second example graded this high.
If you've seen pic of the first, you'll agree that Tbars is easily the finest of the two, being EDS, and having such prominent clash marks.
Did you find it in a roll? Purchase it raw as a cherrypick? How'd you find it?

No question this is the boldest example of any Bugs I've seen of any date! I wouldn't be surprised if this shows up on PCGS Coinfacts.

<< <i>That is very nice. The clash is super bold. Congrats!

This was a raw ebay cherrypick from 3-4 years ago.
I was drawn to it because I had never heard of a 59 BB at the time and the clash was pretty visible even from the small pictures the seller had.
Since then I have had a few discussions with frnklnlvr and bushmaster about this coin and I was encouraged that it was a nice find.
When I saw the current top pop on ebay, and what the seller was trying to sell it for I thought it would be a good idea to send it in.
I really thought I might get the + designation, but it was not to be.
Really a fun coin to study in hand, and from what I have seen a superb example of the variety regardless of date.
Thanks for all your replies, and for the overlay Frnklnlvr
