    I just got this in the mail. I bought it on eBay for a decent price. I thought I'd see if you could guess the grade.

    Maybe it's the pictures but it looks like a Proof to me. I'd grade it PR67.

    I am confused. Why did people start saying this is a proof coin? :confused: Besides that point, I would grade MS-67 FB

    Well you guys are very good. And you are confirming my hunch about the what I thought of this dime when I received it. When I looked at the reverse, I was surprised the slab was not marked FB's.. Here is the actual grade.

    I'm seriously considering sending it back to get regraded and hope to get the FSB designation.
