<p>[QUOTE="MercuryBen, post: 2381334, member: 44521"]I could not agree more with Lehigh. I frequently buy both 66FBs and 67s, but I will take a 66FB over a 67 any day for almost any date/mintmark. Importantly, when buying full band coins, make sure to not only examine the bands, but also the lettering and the hair -- I have seen many a full band coin with weak lettering and soft hair. Conversely, it is true you can find some really nice 67s that just barely miss FB and have incredible lettering and hair. However, you will never get close to FB price when reselling. FBs are really easy to move.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you cherry-pick sweet 66FBs, you have a good shot at getting an upgrade to 67FB. Here is a 67FB gem that I cherry-picked and it is now 68FB.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]488079[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
