You don't see these around too much anymore...

I had a chance to buy 5 of these proof Franklins some years ago.
I wish I would have kept them all, but this is the only one I have left. It's interesting to me that it's labeled Mint State 65
instead of Proof.

    Never heard of the NIG grading service either?

    The more qualities observed in a coin, the more desirable that coin becomes!

    It was David Hall & company's first attempts at a grading service... before PCGS had begun.

    Did any of them have a cameo look? Proof franklins need cameo like the night needs the moon! image

    I picked up a couple of these early David Hall graded coins last year at a small mall coin store. The coins are in a cointain then sealed inside a soft PVC flip and none of them seemed worse for the wear? The coins all seemed to be grossly undergraded by todays standards?

    I would like a couple rolls of common date 65's that looked like this!image

    I hope that plastic case is air-tight since PVC gives off HCl fumes.
