...The Franklin stumped me. My prediction was MS 63 or 64. It has some hits, but it didn't appear to be enough to warrant the damaged designation. This coin is a bit of a mystery and I have stubbornly invested too much into it. It started with a journey to Anacs (one of my first ever subs to a grading company) where it came back AU 55. Several years later it went to NGC where it came back MS 62.

I find it interesting that out of the three times it was graded the results varied widely.

That's part of the reason I've sent it in. At least I can lean towards knowing that it is Unc (twice it was considered Unc vs once it was AU).

You are correct sir!

Interesting about the Franklin half. Here is a Mercury dime that straight graded.
Check out the reverse first:

Those cuts seem much more serious than your slight scrapes on the Franklin.

So you're saying I need to wear it down to P 01 and then it has a chance?
