<p>[QUOTE="Kentucky, post: 6669814, member: 33176"]My story... I was born in 1945, so I have spent considerable time looking for good coins for a birth year cent. This is when I became aware of the 1945 P conditional mercury dime "rarity". I spent considerable time on e-bay scanning 1945 P dimes, so, when I saw one that looked like FSB, I jumped on it. It was a PCGS MS65 and a reeeeeeeeeeeeealy nice coin. I took it to the Long Beach show and had the guys at the NGC booth to take a look at it. Three of them looked at it and then conferred before one of them told me it had a 50% chance of making FSB. I thought it might be worth a shot. To submit to PCGS, I had to become a member, so I did and submitted it. Final verdict MS66 but no FSB...ah well. No photos, cause I ain't that good. Posted some a couple of years ago and no one here thought it was FSB.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
