<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Spark1951, post: 3149686, member: 90692&quot;]Good job on the links, I read all 3.&nbsp; I had heard that the designation did not apply to proof coins, only business strikes.&nbsp; What isn&#039;t made clear is a minimum grade of business strike for it to apply.</p><p><br /></p><p>For example, the OP coin looks as though it has some slight wear/evidence of circulation, to wit: the coin appears to be maybe AU58 and the pics are not clear enough to see the details of the split bands.</p><p><br /></p><p>So...IF the coin is FT/FB, can you have it attributed as &quot;AU58 FB&quot; or does the attribution apply to mint state or better?</p><p><br /></p><p>Given the OP pix, though...I would have to say there are contact marks breaking the top SB, and the vertical bands condition would not qualify through NGC since a contact mark is breaking a separation line on those...Spark[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
