    MS-64? I think it would have gone a higher grade had it not been for the scratch across the bell. Also would have been FBL if not for the hit's on the bell lines. Really nice strike and luster.

    I'll go MS63 on account of the scratch on the bell. Nice coin regardless!

    I'm gonna say they graded it MS64 FBL but I'm not a big fan of this coin. There is a scratch on the reverse that could make it a no grade, and pitting on the obverse that could make it a no grade.

    I am going to say MS 64 FBL, though I agree that the scratch is prominent. Without the scratch, I would have said an easy 65 FBL.

    The toning on this one is really cool, very hard to capture. It's almost neon blue on the rim.
