Looks like a nice MS65, lackluster obverse and a nice rainbow (not nuclear) reverse which wouldn't carry the grade for a bump.

I’m at 65 with these pics.
I think it could go MS66. Not FBL, however.
Fantastic reverse, of course.
I’ll put the bet on AU58 for the price is right style win. 🤓

66- could be from a mint set
Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.
MS66 non-FBL.

Very clean non FBL. I would bet it's a 66.
Did you own this own at one point?

Will let this run a bit longer
MS-65 from pictures. Probably MS-66 because of the color.

I’ll pick 66+
MS64+
That’s tough, a really great coin. I’m hoping it’s 66
I'm BACK!!! Used to be Billet7 on the old forum.
You and the others who guessed 66 were correct!
It looks like a coin I would have owned at one point, but I don't think I ever did.

In one of my searches, I came across this page. I can't recall what I was searching for exactly but it came up. Then a few days later, I see this Franklin at GC and think, that looks familiar. I go back to the website and it appears to be a match. That is why I asked the question.

Hey! I used to own that coin! Nice catch. I told you it was pretty! Looks like I purchased it at the November, 2016 Baltimore show and would likely have had it sold within a few weeks after that. Pretty wild.

Still like the toning on the reverse 🙂
