    Minor Details. Forgot to take a picture of the reverse. Its blast white and covered with hits just like the obverse. No major suprises on the reverse.

    Does PCGS have a rough time grading these ? If this was a Merc it would be AU58 at best.

    Marty:

    Not sticking up for ACG at all here but for sure this coin is better than 63 according to PCGS. image

    Fairlane:

    I was going to say MS60 at best - would have to look at the reverse to see about possible wear. Anyway, yes I do think PCGS has a hard time with Franklins!

    Regards,

    I'll say 63-64 depending on how many of those marks are hits or cracks in the toning
