And Proof coins, in particular, can't be graded in a meaningful way, from images. That's because hairlines, which don't usually show up in images, are, far more often than not, responsible for differences in grade.
Edited to add: Oops, I forgot who you were - you already knew all of the above, but chose to ask anyway, which, of course, is your right.
Of course, it would help to know what the grade is and what you paid, to determine if you "did OK" or not.
Not that the price would help me, as I'm no Frankie specialist.
Now for the standard question- are YOU happy with it, at the price you paid? Therein lies most of the answer.

answer to your question sir Lord
very happy with the coin for its grade and cost
but someone needs to give it a guess as to grade!
As for grade - It is a proof so I can't tell you if the fields are full of lines or not.
Looks close to a CAM, but the reverse lettering may be too weak for the designation.
That is the best I can do given the starting point.

to give a hint it is a CAM designation, and it is not below a 66
do you see anything on the reverse that might give away any special feature that is worth noting.
What happened to all the Frankie experts?

I'll try and say pr-66 cam.

From the pics of the seller- it is a bit rough looking, but I do see doubling and will wait until it is in hand before confirmation of this. I had also thought that it might have been a T1- which would have been the ultimate score on a Franklin- but again I will wait until it is in hand.
The nice thing about this is- if it does need a dip- I may send it back to DH and see what they can do- but I have a feeling it may be a bit of toning taking place on this one.
Why does everyone feel that proofs are hard to grade?
Why does everyone feel that proofs are hard to grade?
We don't think they're hard to grade - we feel they are IMPOSSIBLE to accurately grade off an image. For example:

I don't know about every one else, but I already gave you my answer, earlier in this thread:
