I bought this raw and submitted it. How do you think it did?

Tough picture to grade. Depends on the luster, could be 64, could be 66. Then again could be AU based on the color changes on the high points.

Good one..
I agree that it is 65fbl. I think it would look nice in hand and it probably has nice luster. I think it's just the image.

NGC is actually tougher on FBL than PCGS, while PCGS seems a bit tougher on overall grade.
NGC- MS66, shot 67, probably FBL based on the pic. Coin seems to be original with no marks whatsoever.
PCGS - MS65, shot 66 and FBL.
Now if I submitted it......... 64 and no FBL, maybe even a BB. PCGS has just killed me on Frankies. I cracked out a '50, PR65 UCAM and PCGS sent it back as PR63 and not even a Cam. That was a head banger......
Very nice looking Baldie you've got there. Should be no less than 65FBL.

Hmmmm...
seems to be a tough grade...
this one though, appeared to be a candidate for a bath prior to submitting..
the graders don't like dark drab Frankies...

If that is the case, a bath prolly wouldn't do the trick.
