    When Lucy and Foodude like it, it must be nice.

    That's rather interesting toning for a 1962-D.

    Very nice looking coin. In my humble opinion it is a very good AT job. That is one scary thought! If someone has gotten that good, we are in trouble in the toned coin market. image

    Well let's wake everyone back up!

    If it's AT, then NGC missed it, and gave it a top notch rating with a 66*. Someone there, and more than one person must have liked it.

    I've been getting killed at NGC, even the nicest toned Ike I've ever seen was kicked back for AT at NGC (BTW it graded 66 first time around at PCGS), so go figure if this is AT or NT.

    My guess is the Frankie is OK.

    I think it would be interesting to have a poll on this franklin, to see how many people think it's NT vs AT........... image

    The coin is already packed up and will be mailed out today. But I did try to get a better picture.

    Picture is better, but you need to get more light on it especially the darker areas...

    Now I know what you are thinking, what about the glare that then shows up on the slab/coin as seen by the lens..

    here is a tip, a 58mm Circular Polarized Lens filter is your friend, It is used to eliminate undesired reflection from non meallic surfaces such as window glass, water, coin slabs, etc.
