Not sure why I bid on it, but it looks like a very nice coin. Should be interesting and can't wait to see it.

ACG had fractional grading on a few different versions of their slabs.
Here is another ACG holder with fractional grading.

Whoops! I didn't scan through all the images and missed the slab photos!

Some of us will. Let me check with my lawyer to see if I can comment. In the meantime,
case with other Accugrade pieces I have seen.

ended up with my share of Body Bags back in the day from them as I was buying them before joining this forum.

I thought the same thing when I packed it for shipping! Mailed it during my lunch break today. Glad it went to someone on the forum.
...and thanks for the kind words coindeuce and DorkGirl!

Question from someone who simply doesn't remember--if he ever knew. (They say memory is the second thing to go--I've forgotten what the first thing was.)
Was this actually "fractional grading" or simply an abbreviated version of "split grading" such as was often applied to raw MS coins at the time...ie, obverse 63, reverse 65?
Doesn't really matter--just curious.
