Very nice, but that reverse hit should kill it- both FBL and actual grade... I'd say MS62

always hard to grade from a image.....

the Obverse: Fields look very clean and hit free, maybe some real small stuff goin on in the right field to the right of frankies face.
it also looks like there maybe something happening on frankies shoulder.. the obverse could seems to be a ms65.... if what I am seeing
the shoulder is a really a bunch of chatter on the coin then this drops to a 4....

the Reverse: big distracting scratch running across the crack in the bell.... The fields also seem realtively mark free. It doesnt appear to be FBL... This one also suffers from a weak strike.... you can see this in the Letters which is typical for this year.

I'm going to call this coin a ms64.

Judging from the pics,I'd say its a lock 64 maybe 5, no FBL designation.

BTW, did not see Ms. Lucy's post before posting, but we seem to have had the same thoughts.

Travis, Whats the slab say

Travis · November 8, 2003 3:55PM

Thanks for the input, this coin is in a acg slab ms-66.I was just curious as to how far off the grade was.

I think the X scratch on the reverse would be a net at anacs and might be a bodybag at pcgs.

Nice piece - I would say MS64 due to what seems to be a scratch on the bell going opposite the crack.
