My apologies if the consignor is a forumite, but should not an MS67 at least have some eye appeal?

I no likey - that's not toning, that's tarnished.

thanks, now I have a nose bleed........
I do agree about the eye appeal, maybe not as bad as the photo suggests.

......a few points ! !

a few is 3 or 4 ............. holy sheet
my solid MS66 with outrageous color will get a bump to MS 69 ? ! ?

In fact NGC or whatever .......... Franklins are a dead series right now ; nobody's buying them and nobody wants them .
If you are forced to sell (even nice examples) you get slaughtered.
I been waiting some ten years to have the market for Franklins surge -so I can sell ...........fat chance

I'd rather keep warm with this half..
It's gotten too rich for my blood though.
Edit: If it had a CAC sticker, I'd bid again!
