wish me luck.
finally succombed to the call of a '56 Franklin Type 1: hoping for a decent gem-rating ( no CAM, etc to fall back on).
when I cut it out, I was initially surprised, pleasantly. I only gave it a cursory look; and didnt spend too much time photographing (didnt want to risk damage). With the Obverse, the truth is somewhere in between. No much in the way of distractions.

but still a nice Frankie..
the rarer type there
nice premium on Type 1 '56s , but only for CAM, DCAM, or superGEMS-
I need a PF68 to make out, 67 or less isnt very exciting.
FBL- doesnt matter (lot of proofs dont have 'em); Type 1- doesnt matter, unless I get lucky;
NOTHING matters, short of SuperGEM, without the friggin CAM/DCAM.
