End Roll Frankie Toner - send to PCGS?

jmski52

I just got this today from an ebay auction. Now I'm in a quandry - break the roll and send this to PCGS, or keep the roll intact?

Definitely break that roll.

How's the other side look?

if you like that kind of toning, by all means send it in. Either way, if it comes back a 66 it's only a $70 coin. If by chance it comes back FBL ( Full Bell Lines) add another $50-$60...........Hope this helps in your decision.........Rick

NO!
If it was a roll of earlier dates, absolutely.

The other end is toned, but not as fully. Better than this shot shows, tho.

Keep it in the roll. Nice pickup.

Add 10%, and sell it to me!

Here is the sister roll from the same seller:

Any guesses on what caused the green colorization of the paper wrapping in the top photo...in comparison to the light brownish colorization in the second (other side) photo?

I don't see any green on the wrapper. I took several shots at different angles in the late afternoon sun to show the coin's colors. Here's a better shot of the wrapper, but the coin's colors look different at this angle - more gold and not so much green.

Very nice.

What do you grade the obverse based on what you can see now?

jmski52

My estimate - lucky if it grades higher than MS-63.

(But maybe I'm a conservative grader compared to today's standards. And, I really haven't looked at Franklins for a long time. It does have a fair number of small and medium contact marks, and some scuffs.)

Then I wouldn't break it out for that coin, nor send it in. The pic definately looks much better than a 63, but it is a tad out of focus. I'd also be worried about end roll rub, which would make it a NG. What about the rest of the roll? A nice white 66FBL would bring some bucks, but the odds are against you. Good luck whatever you choose.

I'd look at all of the others before deciding if I would send one in.

If it comes back 66 I would give way more than $70 for it.

Open it!

SeattleSlammer

soooo, did you break it out?

jmski52

I just really can't bring myself to do it, yet.

When I broke all of the toners from my 1958 Roosie rolls, all I did was put them into 2x2's. I haven't even gone through the rest of the coins in those rolls, and part of my "code" as a coin collector is to actually look at every coin that I buy. That means I have to look through 960 more Roosies before I can do anything else, lol.

I have 4 toned Kennedys in PCGS slabs and 16 more to send in. Such is the state of my organizational scheme.

Someday, I probably will break out my prize, but for now I hope to enjoy this roll as nice 'n original. While I am fortunate to remain a working stiff, I will just continue to buy rolls for a future time.

I know that if something ever happens to me in an untimely fashion, my fiancee' is going to be on this website, asking ya'll for help in getting rid of a whole bunch of coins from our lockbox.

wow, thats nice, dont send it in, sell it to me , please !

MadMonk

I agree with Ronyahski, and he asked the right question, what do you grade the coin by what you can see? I'd keep it in the roll for now with "metalsafe" to stop the toning. MS-63 with that color could fetch a nice comfortable sum over reg 63 money, but nothing spectacular.
A 66FBL would be sweet. Go to a few of your best grading friends, and get a consensus on the grade.
