Here's another beautiful toned Frankie you don't see very often. What grade do you think they slapped on this bad boy?

MS-65. Frank, if that is one of the 8 in MS-66, then you da'man! I can't see enough of the lines to say if it is FBL.

FC57Coins

Sure enough - MS65 it is - a beautiful piece with very clean fields - true testament to the fact that MS65 pieces are underrated and undervalued!

Bytheway, you'll recall it's brother coin -

Very nice 62 Frank. I would love to get a nice color piece. I have a 62 in MS65, older green label holder. Can't remember if I singled it out for FBL review. What are the Market Prices on a 62 in PCGS-65 / MS-65FBL?

Monk - MS65's can go anywhere from $75 to $200 depending on eye appeal. MS65FBL's are another totally different matter. You'll be hard pressed to find one for under $1,200, and I've seen them advertised for as much as $1,800. Amazing what a little extra pressure on the press will get you huh?

MadMonk

Wow, you know, it's possible that I overpaid for mine, but it's a tough call because I looked for years for a very nice piece. It was the nicest I'd ever seen in a 65 holder. When I bought it, I had looked at PCGS & NGC pops. The 62 was one of the lowest pop coins. So, I self justified what I paid. I am very happy with it, and someday, I will send it back for possible upgrade, and FBL review. I guess I need to see where it ranks in population now.

At a Pop. of 313, it is no where near the lowest. The '49-D is the king at 37. Though the 50-D is tough at 69, along with the '51-D, '52-D, '53-D and '60-D all being less than 100. As Frank said, it is much tougher in FBL with a Pop. of 89, 1 higher.
