Opinions on this heavily toned Frankie

Obverse is slightly more silvery than this pic shows-reverse is right on.

The Strike of that coin is excellent!

I'll guess This coin will go 65 FBL easy with a very good shot at 66 FBL

There is 2 small scratches that go across the center of the bell if they are heavier than they appear in the pic then I would say 65.

Unless of course this is a proof coin.

JRocco

Hey Chris, I should have stated that this IS a proof coin and those are 2 slide marks on the reverse.

Purple73

Geee thanks JRocco......I was all exited until now!

Still a nice coin though.

Hopefully My Purple Franklin is coming along ok?

Very nice coin!

bushmaster8

It's a beaut!

You sure those are slide marks and not die polish (d.p. being very prevalent on 54 proofs)?

Baley

gorgeous coin! Beautiful toning especially on the reverse.

Yes, some of those are die polish marks and not slide marks (my '54 has 'em too; they're notorious)
edit: and that only makes them a little more forgivable, they still hurt the grade

JRocco

Thanks guys, hey bushmaster and Baley, you may be right. This coin has been in one of those after market P/S holders and I just assumed they were slide marks. Thanks again.
