++ new Franklin Image++A few toned Franklin's and Modern Commem, should I get them graded or not?

Opinions anyone?.....I'm sure there must be

Should I grade them, sell them raw or.......toss them back in the albums?

I don't see any particular high grade or fbl in Mr. Franklins future, but they are nice.

The Modern commem proof looks to be a decent grade and color is nice.

Here is a new one, shows the colors better with some additional light on it

Although after close examination it may be a planchet flaw on the obverse above "IN"

The premium you'd get for the commem dollar would more than cover the cost of grading it.

Coin one, yes. Coin two, maybe. Coin three, no.

The commem will come back AT...like the first Frankie.

The commem looks like natural Dansco toning to me...

Anyone else?

The Franklins are really nice. The modern commem is kind of nice too but I cant see slabbing those types of coins so lets just stick to the Franklins.

Fun looking coins.

I'd need to see them in hand to make a proper judgement, but, FROM THE PICTURES, the Franklins look AT to me.

I can't tell from the image, because of where the toning darkens on the bottom set of lines to the left of the crack, but you may have FBL on the first Frankie (from what I can see it looks iffy). The coin IMO is borderline 64-5. If you do have FBL and you can get the coin into a 65FBL holder you are sitting on a very nice profit indeed.

Dansco on the Commem and I would presume it would grade. When it does . . . it'll bring a nice amount.

SkyMan is your source on the Frankies . . but I like them. I'd send all three in in a heartbeat . . .

I'd send the first two but not the third. Just doesn't quite do it for me. But they're all three VERY nice (especially the first two). ; )

The first 1963 Franklin looks like it may be either DDO-001 or DDO-003 from the Treasure Hunting Book.

DDO-001

DDO-003

didn't notice and DDO's, may have to put the DinoLite to it.
