If it were true that the PCGS price guide was based on retail prices then why is it that many dealers even say they are too high ? So no, I don't...
This isone of those where it's hard to say based on the pics, the coin looks like it might have some slight rub - but that could be the pics. So...

The complete term is Full Split Bands but FB is also commonly used. Nicks and breaks apply to FS, Full Steps and FBL, Full Bell Lines but not to...
Don't think that one is FB Ruben, but it sure is a gorgeous coin :high5:
I will agree that the vast majority of ASE's submitted for grading are returned as MS69, but there are plenty of 67's and 68's too. Now keep...
