I am sending these two in along with a few others Monday. Guess the grade and I will post the PCGS grades when they come in. mike

I'll guess the Franklin comes back an MS65 FBL. Hard to tell from the image though.

CoinAddict · September 26, 2004 4:12AM

I will say the 1901-S grades MS-64 and that the 1948 will grade MS-66 FBL. Very nice coins, Mike.

ER · September 26, 2004 4:14AM

62
64

GaCoinGuy · September 26, 2004 4:14AM

MS64 and MS65FBL.

Baley · September 26, 2004 4:19AM

MS63 and MS65BFL. Nice coins, the ten looks great and has a gem reverse or nearly so, the obv has too many pecks to make 64 imo but ya never know.. could also go 62 if they're grouchy but IMO no lower.

The Frankie looks like a super mint set coin and could go 66 if there's more luster than I see, teriffic strike and slam dunk FBL. nice coins!

MS63
MS65FBL

Best of luck!!

Baley, you called them just as I did. The $10 has real nice luster that I think will get it a 63. The Franklin is a mint set coin and is kind of hazy but I don't see this stopping it from going MS65. I have some nicely toned coins from the 40's and 50's on this submission along with a $20 Saint. mike

Don't know about the gold but the Franlkin I will say:

MS 65FBL

Might just be the pictures but, for a 48 that obverse looks weak. Will still go 65 FBL though.

Very Nice Franklin Mike.

MS63 and MS65FBL... might go 6

ldhair · September 26, 2004 4:43AM

MS63 and MS65FBL

Gonfunko · September 26, 2004 4:49AM

I'll say MS-62 on the gold and MS-64 FBL on the Frankie.

FC57Coins · September 26, 2004 4:57AM

MS61 on the gold

MS64FBL on the Frankie - good luck Mike - hope you do better than my predictions!

Barry · September 26, 2004 5:23AM

<< <i>MS63 and MS65FBL >>

My guess, too

coinguy89 · September 26, 2004 5:30AM

64 and 64 FB.

DHeath · September 26, 2004 5:35AM

MS-62 and MS-65 FBL, but you know the gold better than I do. Cool coins.

BigD5 · September 26, 2004 5:40AM

62 on the gold (ticky obv.), and that Frankie will go at least 65 FBL. The quality of the surfaces look like they could grade better, but the luster seems subdued. A 66 wouldn't be out of the question though.

Good luck with them!

coynclecter · September 26, 2004 5:45AM

I say 62 on the gold and 64FBL on the Frank, but thats been said before.

sliderider · September 26, 2004 5:53AM

62 on the gold and 64 on the Frankie. How can you all be saying FBL?? Theres one clear break to the left on the top line.

dlimb2 · September 26, 2004 5:57AM

Well on the gold I don't know but the Frankie appears a little weak on the obverse around the ear.....I think I see a few not many little hits and over all it looks good...but your buddies will not grade this any highter than a MS64 FBL.

darktone · September 26, 2004 9:11AM

Thanks everyone

. The gold is on the 15 day grading and the rest are on going in on the economy. I have two 54-S quarters in this submission that I am hoping to get 67's on. mike

Baley · September 26, 2004 9:22AM

thanks dark, good luck.

How can you all be saying FBL?? Theres one clear break to the left on the top line

the coin meets the spirit of the designation, certainly at pcgs, and most likely at NGC, a tic withstanding.

darktone · September 26, 2004 9:26AM

I agree Baley- these bell lines are about as full as they come.

coinkat · September 26, 2004 10:40AM

I like the color and lustre of the 10 Lib... I will go with 63. The Franklin is FBL... no doubt, however, the picture looked alittle washed out and I bet the coin looks much better in person. I will suggest MS65 with a shot at 66.

clw54 · September 26, 2004 10:49AM

MS63 for the gold
MS64FBL for the Frankie

(edited to add FBL because I forget about that)

ER · September 26, 2004 10:58AM

Who let clw out of the Open Forum?

fountainheadgold · September 26, 2004 11:00AM

ms62 for the gold , ms66 fbl for the frankie

coppercoins · September 26, 2004 12:59PM

I'm guessing my grading skills are coming around with the other coin series (other than Lincolns)...as usual, I look at the photos and finalize my judgement before I read any of the responses. I came up with 64 on the gold and 65FBL on the half....really close to many of the other responses.
