The picture is too washed out to tell if there's light chatter

RebelRon · August 16, 2010 5:56AM

As far as I can tell it IS.

Hard to tell from the pix.

Can't tell from those photos.

The pics make it almost impossible to tell

Even if it made a MS65 if resubmitted it isnt worth it imo.

Wish I knew how to take pics to give you guys a better look. Thanks for looking though. It does have some light chatter on the reverse airplanenut but it is white, definitely has full bell lines and is far better struck than my 1953 PCGS MS65fbl and 1953 PCGS MS66 both which are toned. I'll post the results when I get it back from PCGS.

Looks like the luster is terrible, but it does have a lack of contact marks.

obverse looks better than reverse

reverse looks like no on FBL from pic (but you have coin in hand so are at an advantage)

I think upgrade all depends on luster, and how much there is as PCGS seems to
favor eye appeal and luster for their GEMS

more than some other services that seem to focus more on technical grading

just the fact it's in a rattler holder give's it a decent chance

I don't think it will upgrade due to the bag marks in the center and the bottom center of the bell, as well as some chatter on the top left, below the "S" in States, but nice coin for the money. I'd be happy with it just as it is.

If anything it'll downgrade. There's a giant, glaringly obvious fracture right down the middle of the bell.

Any chance this Frankie upgrades?
