The first one is a 64 the second one is a 65FBL and the third is a 65

Fixed

The first one suffers from a horrible strike, the obverse appears to be very worn in Frankies hair and head... A couple of good gashes on the check, hits on the bell... Horrible color, though its tough to find nice 55's, thats why I am been unsuccesfully trying to con FC57coins out of his superb 55..... I don't think that coin is a 64, but I would have to see it in person.....

The middle one has clean fields on the obverse but some rub on Frankies high points of his face... If this is a scanned image that type of stuff tends to standout... The reverse has a good hit under the Eagle and a few on the bell.... I can't say its a 5.....

the third one appears to be identical to the 2nd as far as the obverse is concerned...

I think you have been heating too many potatoes!

Got the pictures fix right this time... Guess the grade, FBL or NO FBL and the grading company...

Hey Daddy-o, the HepKitty is boppin' to the very cool carribean beat..... The kind that makes me move my feet........ You should really see...How happy that makes the HepKitty.......

Maybe the third one is a 5, it appears to have been pulled from a orginal mint set..... but its mushy strike sure looks like wear to my eyes..... This is a copout, but I need to see em in person......

Cabana boy baby, send me that file!

#1-MS62
#2-MS65 FBL
#3-MS65, possible FBL, hard to tell from picture.

I really like the second coin!

LucyBop · February 15, 2003 5:44AM

Okay, two eyesores and one dull looking one.

1956Quarter · February 15, 2003 5:56AM

Left MS-62
Middle MS-63
Right AU55

LucyBop · February 15, 2003 5:59AM

I add this.. In my opinion the 55 had some of the uglest toning and I have seen many higher graded ones where you could barley make out Franklins image............. A 55 in brilliant in a 6 with FBL is a major score to me!

1>>>>>>>>>>pcgs ms63 no fbl left of crack has no lines
2>....................ngc ms65fbl best strike...temple area hair has best definition
3>>>>>>>>>>ngc ms64fbl faint but top bell lines are there

MrEureka · February 15, 2003 6:04AM

63, 64, 65FBL

MadMarty · February 15, 2003 6:21AM

The grades are....

#1 PCGS MS65 (old green holder) perfect for a grade review
#2 NCG MS65
#3 NCG MS65FBL

greghansen · February 15, 2003 6:30AM

I agree with MrEureka that its 63,64 & 65 moving left to right. I can't tell NADA about the FBL status.

DCAMFranklin · February 15, 2003 6:35AM

Well Lucy, don't expect any offer sheets from David Hall. Another clear cut example of why one should not assume you can "grade a coin by scan". If you don't have the opportunity to examine that coin up close and personal, then an assessment is a true guess, at best.

LucyBop · February 15, 2003 6:39AM

what is that babble coming out of your trap suppose to mean this time..... They let you out of your cage again I see....... Must be feeding time huh?

Dog97 · February 15, 2003 7:48AM

The ugly one is a 62 and the purple one is a 64. Just a guess.
