82 no FG half?

Wondering what you guys think. Can't decide if the close up circled area represents a portion of the FG or not. I've got a few like this.

Looks good to me. I've found a few of these and the way I normally tell is by looking at it from different angles. If I can't see the FG from any angle it's not there. I have found some 73's without the F and most of the G but they just get thrown back into the wild.

What is the value of an 82 no FG vs 82 w/ FG?

Looks good to me. Like unclehuckleberry said, if any part of the FG is visible even the faintest, it doesn't count. The 82 no FG is the easiest. Anyone ever find a 78-D no FG?

Thanks to everyone for the confirmation.

A 72-D, otherwise only 82-Ps. Found the 72 early when I was still checking every coin for the FGs. Now I really only check 72-D/82.

Also look at the base of the 1 in 1982. In the 82 no FG variety the base of the 1 is cut off and not as prominent as on other dates. This is in the cherry pickers guide. I have sold a few for between 5 and 10 bucks so it is at least worth a 40%'er. I have also found a 74 D, 79 P and a few other dates. There is even a lincoln cent with no FG on the back either.
