Crossword Genius

Mugs, fine ones (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

faces

'mugs' is the definition.
(mug can informally mean one's face)

'fine ones' is the wordplay.
'fine' becomes 'f' (abbreviation).
'ones' becomes 'aces' ('ace' can be a synonym of 'one').
'f'+'aces'='FACES'

(Other definitions for faces that I've seen before include "Confronts" , "Meets defiantly - moves head accordingly" , "With 1a [NEW], TV talent show" , "Mugs" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
