My first eBay coin purchase in forever!

I hope these crummy phone pics show up.
After years of show hunting (1-2max/yr due to location) and striking out with the few dealers I can go to, I finished my Proof Franklin series on eBay this week and coin arrived today! I’m so pumped. The coin looks nice and there’s a little cameo going on. Not enough to argue, but it’s there and I like it.
edit - Shout out to my beautiful wife who let me get it as my anniversary present. 16years this month! She'll be getting a macro lens for her anniversary present, so my pics should start improving soon

Great looking coin. Looks better than a PF65.

Very nice Franklin... I like those coins and I feel it is an under rated series....Happy Anniversary (mine this month as well).... Cheers, RickO

Thanks! I think all my slabbed coins are under graded
I've got a '51 that's PF66 and I think this one is definitely nicer than that one. If not in actual grade, certainly in eye appeal.

Happy Anniversary to you, too, @ricko !
