New 55 Franklin--Grade?

How do you think this would grade??

i suck at grading these, but here it goes.

i will say a 64 and not higher due to the disturbance on the rev on the lower part of the bell.

cannot determine fbl from the pics.

Agreed, 64 at best. Pretty coin

Very nice coin, I'll say 65, a can't tell FBL from pics though, those nicks, on the lower part, of the bell, don't look that bad!

I'll go with 64 as well. Due in part to obverse hit at 10 o'clock. Nice coin, my favorite year for that!

easy ms65 (IMHO).

hard to tell, but I don't think it displays FBL.

MoneyLA

nice strike on pass and stow, but appears there is a huge hit on the bell lines.

Thanks. I'm only now familiarizing myself with Franklins, not an easy endeavor if I read the chatter regarding FBL and various strikes correctly. It has nice eye appeal, to be sure. Again, thanks!

It's hard to grady by pics but it's a no-doubt 65, and a no-doubt non-fbl (too many hits).

65 all day long but no go on the FBL's. Really nice coin.

To be conservative, I would say 64, no FBL. Kind of uncertain though, because the right sides of both pics seem to have a lot less nicks than the lefts.

64 reed mark behind the head is not real evident in the photo. hard to tell about the luster. boom luster might carry it to a 65
