You do have a fantastic skill for finding awesome raw Franklins.
Here are my guesses;
1) 66FBL -outside chance of 67
2) 65FBL - outside chance of 65
3) 65FBL
4) 65FBL PLUS (incredible reverse)
5) 66 PLUS
6) 65
7) 65
8) 65
9) 64/63
10) 64

I only see one possible FBL by NGC standards as noted above...however PCGS will probably FBL at least 3 based on the criteria they use?
#2 65 FBL
#3 66 FBL (Buggs Bunny)
#4 66+ FBL

Here is my take on the grades. The pics cause of the camera being a cheap one doesnt really show detail the greatest. This is what i have them down as:
1. 1951 D the coin has hammered bell lines both upper and lower and are free of any marks. The surfaces on this coin are also nearly mark free. Id say a 66FBL.
2. 1951 D this one also has both full upper and lower bell lines. The surfaces are also very clean just like the one above but cause of the color i think it will be a 65FBL with a shot at the +.
3. 1955 P this one has full both upper and lower bell lines. Clean enough to go 66 but the toning will most likely hold it back at a 65FBL
4. 1958 D this one also has full upper and lower bell lines but with very minute im talking very very tiny ticks on the upper lines. This may hold it back from going FBL but chances are it should. This coins color is very sweet in hand! Id grade it a 65FBL.
5. 1957 D this one is very clean with very minor light scattered marks that are well hidden. The bell lines arent the best ive seen for the date but do appear full in hand. I say 66FBL
6. 1958 D This one has a really nice look to it color wise and is decently clean. A rock solid 65 but i cant give it the FBL due to marks
7. 1957 D This is a sweet coin with excellent color. Imo just makes a MS65 and has a shot at FBL but should miss imo.
8. 1957 D this one is a nice coin all around. Very clean coin and while the bell lines arent hammered they are there and full. Id say it goes a 66FBL
9. 1957 D this one has a decent look to it. Pretty clean coin, id give it a 65.
10. 1957 P very clean coin with a 50/50 shot at FBL. I say it grades easy a 66
11. 1958 D Very nice color on this coin and a solid 65. Would go FBL here but ATS i dont think so with the mark on the upper lines
Is the 55 a "Buggs Bunny" ?
