Fell in love with it when I saw it; came in at MS65FBL. Can't believe this isn't a MS66FBL, but oh well, it's a nice coin.

    Gotta hand it to the PCGS Photography Department on this one, they captured the colors and the look of the coin perfectly.

    Pretty mint set toner. It has been my experience that PCGS will knock off a point for darker mint set toned Franklins.

    How is the luster, in hand? PCGS is a bit more mindful of the luster aspect of the grade.

    Perhaps Bushmaster could chime in with his learned opinion?

    i really like that tarnish, RickO !

    MadMonk, luster on this coin is good. I wouldn't call it incredible, but it certainly isn't subdued.
