Tough little coin in the series. Guess the grade if you would like to.

Guess my picture was too good on this one. It is a Luster Bomb with no breaks at all. Sure looks FB to me. The problem with the coin is that it has slide marks on the cheek and neck. They are not huge but are there for sure. PCGS might have been a little tough on the coin but for sure not completely out of reason with the grade assigned.

    Nicely struck for a 27-D. The reverse shows signs of die cracking around the peripheries. Small milk spot obverse to the right of "B"

    My guess is 64FB

    I'm in the 64 full band crowd too. Very pretty indeed.

    What a little luster bomb.
    There is such a big jump in $ going 4 to 5 FB so I will say they held her to 64FB

    Nice coin

    Some coins are just plain "Interesting"
