Wish me luck, my first Frankies ever are now on their way to PCGS.

Invoice #3038415 has these two puppies on it:





Since I have no idea how to grade a Franklin, I'm using the WAG method and looking for 67CAM on both.

This should be an interesting invoice, since it also has some wild neon rainbow toners that I pulled from a '64 proof set.

You should have them back next year

Lucy Bop has worked her Franklin mojo on Russ. The same way he lead many astray on this board about proof JFK's... there is a raw justice in that.

Old bald guys beat a thick, accented head of hair every day of the week.

Hail to Lucy Bop, Princess of Frankie. Ruler of Russ.

Nah, Clankeye, I just need one for my modern proof type set, and it's more fun to make it than it is to buy it. I'll unload the other one.

Good luck Russ!

Did you send in the toned nickel too? I assume you sent in that toned proof set you posted about earlier this weekend...

Yep, sent the four coins. The penny was untoned, so it's in a tube. I'm also going to call Charlie with a heads up about this invoice to try and reduce the odds of a body bag for the toners. They are very wild, and I'm worried the graders are going to nuke them.

Interesting.

Russ is in denial. He has really turned the corner!!!!! Good Luck with thos Frankies and the Rainbow toned coins, I can hardly wait to hear the results!

MrKelso

They better come back with the word WOW in bold print somewhere on the label because they are beautiful Pieces. Good luck.

Or the year after. PCGS and NGC are taking forever on economy submissions.

Ogden

33 days and counting on my submissions!

Good call. Sometimes a very light coating of PVC can be mistaken for that type of "wild neon" toning on that Kennedy you SCANNED yesterday.
A well placed phone call may allow these coins to escape the bodybag.

Russ

Well, the wild ones (and the boring old Franklins) have landed. Now, the wait.
