[QUOTE="physics-fan3.14, post: 778099, member: 19165"]As would be expected, Paul - the center bands are opposite Miss Liberty's cheek. When the two high points are directly opposite each other, you often have an area of weakness. The distinction between NGC and PCGS is much less distinct for FSB than for Franklin FBL - where NGC is distinctly superior. I'll add my own FSB to the mix, recently purchased from leeg. This coin is graded MS-66FB, and in my opinion just barely makes it. The bands are rather weak. The bottom coin is in an old NGC fatty, graded MS-67 from a time before the FSB designation existed - if resubmitted today I believe it would come back 67 * FSB.
