Fugly Franklins

bushmaster8

My apologies if the consignor is a forumite, but should not an MS67 at least have some eye appeal?

Thread title is redundant.

I no likey - that's not toning, that's tarnished.

Kinda yucky.

SUMORADA

thanks, now I have a nose bleed........

lcoopie

the picture doesn't seem to have any, but the coin might

PCcoins

Many franklins have fugly toning, and a ton in high grades. Definitely a mint set toner.

I do agree about the eye appeal, maybe not as bad as the photo suggests.

I guess Pleasing warm russet toned surfaces is one way to describe Ugly.

Fairlaneman

I like the tone and bet it is decent. To each his own.

I think it just points out the limitations of numerical grading...

Shamika

Aren't all Franklins fugly?

I think that the obverse is OK, the reverse needs a little help. But I have seen (and owned) fuglier.

I don't think it looks too bad.

I have seen better though.

Frankcoins

When a coin has toning that the grading service finds pleasing, they increase the grade a few points above the deserved grade to reflect the market value...thus market grading.

IM a huge fan of the Franklin series...

to my eye that is UGLY...and typical of an NGC grade...

another reason IM not a fan of NGC holdered coins.....

PawPaul

YES, ngc IS A poor choice for Franklins - too many overgraded pieces with negitive eye appeal .

In fact NGC or whatever .......... Franklins are a dead series right now ; nobody's buying them and nobody wants them .

If you are forced to sell (even nice examples) you get slaughtered.

I been waiting some ten years to have the market for Franklins surge -so I can sell ...........fat chance

SkyMan

Hey, Bushie... can't you tell that is WARM RUSSET toning... don't you just want to wrap yourself up in it on a cold winters night?

bushmaster8

Hmmm.

I'd rather keep warm with this half..

It's gotten too rich for my blood though.

Edit: If it had a CAC sticker, I'd bid again!

PawPaul

That 44-D sold for what a MS65 brought a few short years back .......

bushbutton ; you continue pursuing those neat toned Walkers ..........cause as you know -

nobody gives a hoot about those worthless, pathetic Franklin's
