65 FBL. NICE!
U.S. Type Set
<< <i>Nice looking '51-D!
Could go this way to 65+ FBL or they could downgrade for unusual color pattern to 64FBL. I am leaning toward 64FBL.
What could keep it down is if the hazed look of the toning subdues the luster too much. Hard to tell from the pic.
Tough, tough date for color.

nice coin

Are we looking at the same coin?
Looks like 66 luster to me. The color looks just slightly off, but I think this may be a white balance issue.
PCGS rewards mint set toning, especially in 1951 (just ask Coppercolor- he has had some great grades on 51 mint sets) but I am thinking just too much contact for 66-- and something may be going on with the rim at 3:00.
I would stick with 65FBL, maybe with a +.

Don't know about bell lines.

Maybe you are looking at the first picture, which wasn't up when I posted. The second and third pictures definitely show potential hazing.

Darryl, great to see you posting up on a Frankie thread.
Looks like I got to skiddish grading this coin. The reverse is smoking clean for a 51D. I just got shy with the unusual color and haze. Unusually attractive 51D Deltadimeman!
My Dad , PawPaul, sez that piece for piece , no other collector in the world can match Ronyahski's set for Grade, eye appeal, and magnificence !!
Thor11,
Ask your dad to post that beautiful 51D franklin we discussed that he upgraded from 65FBL to 66FBL. It was clean and green!
