Grade just got finalized. Luster is better than pic shows.

MS66 no FBL!

PCGS has just gotten absolutely ridiculous with the tightening of their FBL standard.

A tight standard is fine with me. But the problem is now there are thousands of "FBL" PCGS coins out there that do NOT qualify for the designation according to the 'new standard'.image

    Nice
  • Very nice! I always liked the Bugs Bunny! And your coin looks to be a sparkler. The BB is on some other dates too -- right?

    BTW- this came out of an NGC MS65 holder!

  • .......so you take the FBL desig. with a grain of salt -unless your trying to sell;

    then it can get ugly .

    I strongly believe that in the past , if the Franklin was a liner for the next

    grade up -they had a policy of giving it the FBL desig. to push up it`s

    market value . How else can you explain the thousands of Franklins out

    there that are obviously NOT FBL's and yet have the designation .

    And on the other hand , coins such as your Bugs Bunny - with bell lines obvious

    to THE NAKED EYE dont get it . It's a game they play to get more grading fee's i guess .
