Maybe I'm crazy, since so many people here like that coin, but: to me it looks like an "ugly" coin, with some very odd, "splotchy" toning. Someone else here said "is seriously missing luster"--So much so that I'd say, "Altered Surfaces", & should be in a "Genuine", or "Details" holder. Plus, it's such a common date, so.......why?
I wouldn't crack it, unless you just want it on the holder. I wouldn't call it it FBL based on the pictures, but I also had two FBL PCGS coins submitted to CAC and they both came back with CAC stickers. This has led me to believe that I might be too hard on the FBL designation...
Behold the power of Microsoft Paint! Nice coin, BTW. The toning is a bit unusual but not unattractive. A keeper.
Touche'... It would help if I looked at the very BOTTOM line wouldn't it.. Guess I will not resubmit the coin. I will leave it as is edited ...:devil:
Tough to say going from your photos.... Do you have better photos of the bell line? They typically are better shown by lighting the coin from 6 o'clock. Perhaps you might take another picture and post it. THanks...Mike. p.s. lol @ AU comments on a coin that almost certainly spent its life and toned in a mint set.
