<p>[QUOTE="physics-fan3.14, post: 743501, member: 19165"]If you could post pics of the coin, that would help.... but odds are STRONGLY against you on this one. 1961 is a very, very hard date. MS-65's are scarce, and I can almost guarantee that you don't have anything higher than that. FBL's are even scarcer - as in almost impossible. 1961 and 1962 are two of the hardest dates to find FBL in the entire series (ranking only behind 1952S and 1953S). Pictured below is my NGC MS-64FBL. Note that this is one of the best struck 1961's I have ever seen, with unusually full and bold bell lines. Most don't come any where near this level:</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://coins.www.collectors-society.com/usercontent/images/coins_images/col-socphotos/2113907-006O.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://coins.www.collectors-society.com/usercontent/images/coins_images/col-socphotos/2113907-006R.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
