    It is virtually impossible to grade a proof Franklin from a photo. With that being said, if that coin is free from hairlines as well as any hidden spots (I don't see any) I would say it is at least a 67, with a shot at 68.

    ps, I do see a touch of tone here and there, as long as it is not dark and obtrusive it should still be in that range

    I shot it in natural light (thanks Ken) and it looks like there might be a touch of toning starting to reveal itself, although looking at it with a naked eye, you don't see the toning. I picked up this coin about 20 years ago and it was graded by a really conservative professional as a Pf67 +. I would guess on a good day I might make a 68. Thanks for the opinions Lady and gentlemen.
