....on a successful ebay auction purshase of a 1958 Franklin PCGS 66 with a type 2 (proof eagle) reverse!

It's the only one I have ever seen in grade 66! Ed

Why, thank you kind sir! Looks awfully close to FBL to boot!

What am I missing? It's already in a PCGS holder as MS 66.Anyway,thats how I read it.

Congrat's!!! Heres my lowly example in a MS64 holder

Grip- you are correct, it's already slabbed PCGS MS66. I don't know what Superlardcoins is smoking! The trick will be getting it into a FBL holder. But with PCGS's ever fluctuating FBL standard, it will be doable.

LeeG- Is yours FBL designated? If it is, you have a super scarce item.
BTW- you need to get that Proof 1957 Lincoln in for a regrade... if that's not DCAM, I will eat my hat!

Nope. Has some nicks in the bottom Bell Lines.

That's a challenge I just can't pass up. I sincerely hope you're not eating your hat.
Several board members have recommended I do send it in for regrade.

If you get this into an FBL holder, it will be big $$$ to a die variety collector. It took me 30+ years to find ONE that was worthy of a 65FBL holder! They are rarer than the '53-S!!! Ed

Here's link, if anyone cares to view.

Even if I don't get it to FBL, it's still a rare bird!
