You should start listening the voices again.

Unfortunately I don't have anything to give away. Nice guess though! Was surprised anyone nailed it at all!

Details say typical MS Franklin but the two bagmarks/scratches and dull luster hold the grade back so 63 sounds right. I wonder why someone would spend more on slabbing fees than the coin is actually worth

Pardon me for hijacking your thread, canadanz, but I had to share my own ugly Ben and his story:
Guess-The-Grade:-Ugly-Franklin-Edition-1957-D Guess-The-Grade:-Ugly-Franklin-Edition-1957-D
This Ben (and his lady friend on a Peace dollar) had been hiding away for over 30 years when I found him. Someone had slipped him and his friend into a picture frame, between the two cardboard backings, and after I bought the lot of frames that he was in, transported it to California in 1982, and dragged it back to Kansas in 1987, he sat safely under the roof in my extremely hot attic for another 18 years or so. Why I didn't abandon the frames somewhere - I dunno. Fate, I guess. So a few years ago when I needed to frame a print, he and his lady friend, both extremely tanned as you can see, fell out of the frame. Needless to say, I'm never giving him OR his friend up!

Knowing PCGS or NGC I bet they awarded the coin to be a MS 65 or MS 66 FBLs

Hey pls your coin is pretty unattractive, but I've seen uglier Franklins in my day. Thanks for sharing the story!
