this wouldn't be the ms67fbl would it?

Russ · April 16, 2003 11:40AM

Wouldn't that be pretty expensive?

Russ, NCNE

LucyBop · April 16, 2003 11:43AM

there is one on ebay for 4k right now.

Russ · April 16, 2003 11:44AM

Way out of my price range.

From the scan (scanner beware), it looks as if way too many hits and nicks on the bell for 67. Can't tell if the lines are full or not. Could be a nice 58 MS66FBL in which case its value would range 100-125$, IMHO. If bells aren't full then maybe 50$.

Don't like it.

I have 3 1958 MS65 FBL's and they all look far better than this one. It is ugly. I don't care if the holder says MS67 FBL. There are so many Franklins that have ugly mint set toning but are in holders with high grades.

<< <i>they all look far better than this one. It is ugly. >>

You think?

this isn't the ms67fbl, there are or was a few up for auction.

I think it looks like an okay coin. Did you see the one I just picked up. I posted as a thread called 1958-D Franklin. I think your coin might look better if you used a different color background considering it is a darker toned coin. Just wanted to give some suggestions.

Russ · April 16, 2003 12:37PM

CoinAddict,

I didn't do the image.

I like it. I bet it has nice luster too. mdwoods

Still don't like it, but a lot of that could be the pic. To be fair, it might have some nice colors.

MadMonk · April 16, 2003 9:08PM

I'm going to guess that that's one sweet coin, with a very bad picture. I see some things in the image that suggest it is not shown in it's full glory. Tell us about it.

Lori · April 16, 2003 9:37PM

Dang,

I had that on my watchlist and then forgot to bid on it. I hate that when that happens.

Great looking coin at a great price once again.

The thing about Teletrade is that they are notoriously bad at imaging color. Case in point, this 1885 Morgan:

Coin as it appeared on Teletrade:

Coin as it actually looks:

This is another example of the hazzards of judging a coin based solely on an image. Just as a coin can look unrealistically good in the hands of a skilled photographer, it can also look terrible when imaged by somebody who doesn't know what they're doing.

I'll post images of the Frankie once it arrives.
