[QUOTE="John Burgess, post: 4988198, member: 105098"]I think verifying the diagnostics yourself and confirming things match up as FS-101, it's along the lines of the examples PCGS has on the site to look at. MS66, maybe not, but could get MS65 possibly. [URL]https://www.pcgs.com/coinfacts/coin/1938-5c-ddo-fs-101-021/38477[/URL] not many graded with either NGC or PCGS, a couple dozen tops. probably worth $200 if graded and hits MS64, or more if it grades out higher. Been a while since they have come up in any grade, a MS66 sold for like $570 about a month ago on heritage if that info helps. I'd say it's a 64 for sure, but the luster looks good, above average, and it's not any worse for the wear than the MS66 example which is top pop. Might be worth the gamble the two main concerns is the ding on the chin on the obverse and the ding on the stairs reverse, everything else is pretty minor. I feel good about it as a MS65 against the comparables I can see, but might not make it. got to check it for wear and be certain it's uncirculated, I would not bother with grading if it has wear/luster interruptions and will only make AU58, the rim doesn't scream at me as circulated though, neither does the coin.[/QUOTE]
