PCGS Coinfacts Franklin GTG

I was browsing PCGS Coinfacts to test my grading skills, and one of the coins looked oddly familiar: my coin. Thanks for the free Trueview PCGS. Guess the grade!

I could make a birth year registry set out of pocket change.

    I would say it is every bit of a FBL 66 and would not be surprised if it were 66+. Nice looking coin.

    I'm at 66FBL as well. It may have gotten a color bump to 67FBL..


    Now to go look for it. LOL

    Well Danye, since I sent it in for grading I guess I should keep my trap shut! But I will say I expected 66+FBL when i submitted it.

    Regrade!

    I may send it in for regrading at Long Beach along with a few others.

    Isn't that gorgeous 51p yours too? Why don't you submit them together?

    Looks deserving of a 67FBL

    I'm coming up with MS 66 FBL too.

    Clean enough "marks"-wise senor georgiacop50. But what's not evident in the image is that the obverse is close to a brown. It has that dusty just slightly overburnt appearance from about five years too long in the paper. That's what's holding it back.

    I bought it as a group of raw coins, not in mint set boards, but obvious mint set toners. I have tried to imagine that coin if it had been pulled from the paper five or ten years earlier. Geesh!

    Looks like the 50P's a no-brainer 66FBL if they buy the color. I predict it's going to take a few times for that one to get it in a holder, unless the images arent' exactly on, or unless you've got the mojo

    It's already in an MS64 holder... for some reason.

    I've got pretty good mojo: I just submit clear NTs with the ones I'm less confident on.

    Just found an image of all the coins together, along with my thumb!

    The upper right hand coin is your franklin. While I bought them raw and not in a mint set, I put them together in these boards to see what it would have looked like. Pretty sweet.

    The upper left quarter graded 66. It has a large neck scratch but with ms68 color.

    image

    The lower right coin graded 66+ l. t has the color of a top end 58D (though the image was toned down) it's flourescent and should be an ms67 .

    image

    So glad you have the half, it's in a good home.

    Those are colors that can be made, maybe the 64 was a throwaway grade for a borderline NT coin

    Perhaps the most beautimous ever! Larry, You saw how your upper right quarter is a 68 now didn't you?

    Just looking at the first set of images (interpreting the obverse more as a reddish brown as opposed to finding out it's more of a brown), I would have said PCGS MS67FBL.
