Do you think these rainbows will crossover?

Inherited these from my dad. I had all his raw stuff slabbed by PCGS, I'd like to see these in PCGS holders as well. Please give your opinion. both 57d's must have come from the same mint set, I have one where there were holes. Also, both 57d's have very similar reverses. All are NGC slabs

The toning will cross over, but the grades may or may not (are they NGC?).

Beautiful Franks! They should do well in the MS65 range!

I too, think the coins will cross, but likely not at the grade. I can understand why you want to slab those coins. They are special to you. Don't worry about the grade. If, you are very sure that they came from a Mint Set in your posession, maybe put them back.

Regarding these coins, I hope you find what you feel best about.

PCGS tends to be a little harder on grade on Franklins, but NGC is harder on the Full Bell Line designation. However, with color like the 58-D especially, grade is not really going to matter if you ever consider selling them.

So, are you saying, with this color, I should get a lot of takers at strong money? Would the FBL, added, really bring better prices in the market?

There was a thread the other day on how much of a premium the FBL designation adds....it was as high as 10x in some instances. I would leave them in the NGC holders. Nice rainbow toners!!

You might look through the recent Heritage archives to see what similar quality coins are going for, but rainbows like that are usually very desirable.

I checked out these archives as you suggested. None that look like this. So gives me an indication
that you don't see them too often. I really think I should bite the bullet and go for the FBL designation. PCGS holders seem to get more on these Franklins also. Looks like a PCGS65fbl will still get more money than an NGC- straight 66. So, my take is, typical coins it wouldnt be worth the expense, but with this color, it only adds to the desireability. Correct me if I'm wrong.
