Hi David:
There are a number of Franklin collectors who value eye appeal first when buying Franklins. Often times, an almost fully struck Franklin w/o the FBL designation will be the best looking coin available. It is certainly conceivable that a 53-S in PCGS 66 will look much better than a typical PCGS 65FBL. In fact the PCGS assigned 66 grade would indicate that PCGS probably agrees. The problem is that the current Franklin registry set places such a high premium on FBL pieces that such a collector could never hope to receive a top ten rank.
How about offering a Franklin registry set where there is no bonus premium for the FBL designation. It seems that it would very easy and straight forward to create. Establishing such a set might also jump start the non-FBL market which ought to benefit both collectors and dealers who traffic in that area.
Thank you for your consideration. Here is an example of a beautiful MS66 non-FBL Franklin.
