Frankie Lovers . . .

Help me out here!! I had completely forgotten about this old Frankie (OK! Yes, I used to collect them... image) This little old proof has resided in a paper flip inside of a cotton pouch for the last 15-20 years.

So, I found it tonight whilst looking for something else to submit for grading, and POW!!!

It has enough hairlines and ticks to prevent it from going better than a PF64, IMO .... so what's it worth looking like this (also, the reverse would go CAM, but I think not the obverse)? Should I dip it in Jewelustre?

    Please don't dip it. Give me a shot at buying it!

  • Personally, would NOT dip that coin--to gain a possible mild CAM reverse (why)? The coin's beautiful as is; unless you think it has a shot at CAM or DCAM (doubtful)...thanks for sharing it. I like the purple, and 1950 is a tough date to find a remarkable coin...(I'd get in line to buy it, too). image

    I assume the Jeweluster comment was a joke. As far as the premium for the toning, IMO it would carry a 1.5X-2X premium for the toning. It's extremely attractive and desireable, but I don't think were looking at a wild premium. I would be happy to have a coin like that in a toned proof album set.

    Yes, it was a joke. I'm a tone lover at heart.

    Thanks for the feedback. Mac
