[QUOTE="Lehigh96, post: 3599171, member: 15309"]My first question is who are you going to send them to? NGC or PCGS? The top coin shows 5 full steps IMO. There is weakness across the 3rd through 5th steps but I don't see any actual bridging. There is a tiny break on the 5th step above the C in MONTICELLO which I believe NGC would use to negate a 5FS designation. However, given the rarity of the issue for 1965, and PCGS's more lenient standards, I think you have a pretty decent shot at getting that coin into a FS holder. That said, we would need to see a photo of the entire coin both obverse and reverse to ensure that the coin is both mint state and problem free. The second coin has an obvious break from a mark between the 3rd and 4th steps under the second pillar that would preclude FS designations from both NGC & PCGS. I'm a little worried that the top picture is one of a coin that already resides in a PCGS FS holder and that the bottom one is yours.[/QUOTE]
