Did I do good???

I have done my share of cherry picking on Ebay but usually I don't hit home runs and I have never earned the coveted "You Suck"....


In this case I think I did pretty well but I wanted to see what the powers that be thought.... image


1963-D Frankie purchased here for $4.25, I combined shipping between this and another frankie so add another $1.50 for the shipping....so my total investmet is $5.75...plus $12.50 grading fees.


Raw 1963-D Frankie


NGC just graded the coin MS66 FBL with makes it tied with 18 others at NGC for top pop with none finer at NGC or PCGS image

I don't have the coin back yet but you can see the coin in slab at NGC's cert verification:

NGC Cert Look Up


I don't known the actual value of the coin considering the last NGC one sold on heritage for $1200 back in 2003. PCGS guide lists a value of $1600 but PCGS graded coins have been selling from around $1200 to $1300 so assuming that the kool-aide drinkers will pay less for an NGC holdered one even with real pretty toning and legit top and bottom full bell lines....the coin might be worth $800 to $900 realistically image

    Killer deal as any 60's Franklin in MS66 is dang near impossible as usually the mark and/or lack of luster will kill the coin.

    as said before, NGC is way tougher on franklins in the FBL department due to the fact that they grade both sets of lines. A YOU SUCK is definetely in order!

    Sure, but it's a Frankieimage So I'd say you did about as good as you possibly could have, considering of course the fact that it's only a Frankie.

    Dizz have you been talking to Mark again image



    Anyway.....here are the images I took back in February before I had my SLR so you can see there is actually a nice bit of toning and as I look at the images the coin does look exceptionally clean mark wise so I can see how it got the 66 image

    Cherrypick with value over 100x cost, yes, that qualifies for a YOU SUCK!

    Thanks all......honestly if the coin hadn't been toned I wouldn't have even given the auction a glance but knowing how difficult it is to find 60's toned frankies made sure I didn't pass it up. image

    If you do "good" you do something such as perform a community service.

    You do "well" when you have a positive result or outcome or you do something with skill.

    I don't see that you did anything good, although you did do "well" on your purchase.

    You did good! You found a frankie that is now encapsulated prior to it being moved around often and becoming <MS66FBL. Future coin collectors now have an option of acquiring another high end frankie. You did good!

    Maybe when you sell it, you will have done well image

    You did better than the eBayer who sold it to you . NGC did twice as good, but at three times the cost of what the coin cost you, initially. You got a great deal for a lot less than purchasing the coin already graded. Now if you sell it for a profit, you did good. Otherwise , as a collectible is concerned, you did great.

    Just for the record....my thread title was completely tongue and cheek....as in what a little kid would say when looking for approval from their father or mother?


    If it wasn't a rhetorical question then I would have stated "how do you think I did on this purchase".....etc? image


    This could indeed be the first 66+ coin ever graded.....or it could be just your average run of the mill 66 FBL.....somehow I will survive either way image
