<p>[QUOTE="Coinchemistry 2012, post: 2074736, member: 28107"]This is the only thing in the entire thread that you have said that I disagree with. NGC has graded three in MS68 condition (2 FBL, 1 non-FBL). At least one of those I have seen is absolutely awful and was bumped from a PCGS and older NGC MS67 holders respectively with horrendous toning. It is a monster for sure, but not in a good way. I wouldn't pay MS66 price for it. I haven't seen the other two, but assuming that the coins aren't mechanical errors on labels, NGC says they exist.</p><p><br /></p><p>Edited: Here is a NGC MS68* FBL (Ex. Tomaska). It is generously graded to say the least and looks horribly.
