<< <i>What lines determine FBL? The top set, bottom set, or both? >>
ngc- both sets
pcgs- just the lower set
i go with 66 as long as the mark on the R mid bell is not too obvious
no fbl
ms66.....no fbl........pretty coin

The grade appears to be a strong MS-65. However, on a good day
could make a 66 grade.

I like it as a 66 (no FBL) but I think you'll surprise us.

and IS inconsistently graded by PCGS , it would seem more then any other date indeed
Early on, say from 86-88, it seems to me that PCGS was loath to grade 54-S's (and to a lesser extent 53-S's) higher than 64 if they were not very well struck. To this day one can find nice 54-S's in rattlers that have 65/66 surfaces but were held back by strike issues.
As time went on, more weight was given to surface preservation than strike.
I think the cheezhed coin is a 66. (edit to add: and very well struck)
and they're cold.

Would most of the upper bell lines be full if the lower bell lines are fully struck? Is this the difference b/t NGC's and PCGS's standards? just curious.
Too many positive BST transactions with too many members to list.

Nahhh, they're all across the board on all Franklins except for FBL on some of the tougher dates.
