A nice 1959 D Franklin Half, just got this one back with a few others. I still don't see what they are seeing.

But what do I know?
I know I like that Frankie
I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very freedom I provide, then question the manner in which I provide it. I prefer you said thank you, and went on your way, Otherwise, I suggest you pick up a weapon, and stand to post. Either way, I don't give a damn what you think you are entitled to!

I honestly don't believe or concur with the host's on this one. She is infact a super nice coin that I think should have atleast merited a 64FBL grade. I got hammered this past week at the graders. They beat me up

I still don't think it would have gone above 63 (no offense) but a half dollar is too small a coin to grade above a 63 with that many marks IMHO.
I think it looks FBL, experts correct me if I'm wrong, but contact marks CAN interfere with bell lines on the frankie and still achieve the FBL designation
Was going through a role of 53D lincs last night and had one selected for the 66 shot/67 pile until at just the right angle this very long skidmark appeared out of nowwhere. My first counting wheel encounter
<< <i>Could it be the infamous "wheel damage" if that's what its' called, that graders seem to enjoy using

You Got It!! They said machine damage...but I am not seeing it. Looks like any bag mark that I have ever seen... 99 to 1 says if I send it in raw again that it will grade on the second go around!
