Question About Submitting Franklins

Posts: 860
I am just full of questions lately. Sorry...
When submitting a Franklin to PCGS do you have to state you want them to look for FBL's or do they do that automatically. If they are there do they put that on the label? If you do have to say it on the submit form where would that be.
Thanks again for the help. I am learning a lot.

They will grade the coin with the correct designation (FBL) if present regardless of what coin # you write in.
You can write in the FBL coin # and if it's there, you'll get it and it it's not you won't.

Hi, where do I begin? I understand from your posts, that you have inherited a coin collection, and hence are trying to put a dollar value to it. Am I correct so far?
If this is the case and I were you, I would sit tight and not move on anything. I would Buy books, get free appraisels if you can and ask all the questions that you can.
Submitting coins for third party grading is not always the best thing to do in all situations. Third party submissions can cost you tons and when you average low grade coins and boddybagged coins, the fees can go long and the value of the coin drops short.
Now if you have some beauties, and you intend on keeping them, or selling them as high grade coins. that is a different case.
I would hate to see you squander the value of your coins on third party fees.
Take a deep breath, learn, learn, learn and then do your homework. Lots of skunks out there that would be glad to take advantage of you.
Ok here is where you send those Franklins to.........just kidding

So thanks to all for helping a newbie with all her questions.

PS. For other proofs in the 80's and 90's how do you get the coins out of the black part once you open the proof box plastic. I smugged a nice cameo Kennedy trying to get it out.
Rule 1 - Franklin fans can ask as many questions as they want
Rule 2 - Proof Franklins do not get the FBL designation, because it is thought that all proof Franklins should have FBL's due to the striking process, even though this isn't 100% always the case.
