QE45 Valued Member United States 67 Posts	Posted 09/02/2016 7:37 pm I have studied grading this series. I have given this MS-61 or 62. Lots of photos but this is a tough coin for me to learn. I would appreciate input and pointers. Thank you, Bill Report this Post to the Staff

QE45 Valued Member United States 67 Posts	Posted 09/02/2016 8:22 pm Thank you for the quick reply. Looks like I need to study the basics some more. Don't want to short change myself or mislead a possible buyer. Respectfully, Bill Report this Post to the Staff
fromms2244 Valued Member United States 461 Posts	Posted 09/02/2016 9:58 pm Obverse is a lock at 64... maybe better. The reverse is not so fortunate. Total I would be at a 63 but a 62 wouldn't surprise me. Report this Post to the Staff

T-BOP Rest in Peace United States 18456 Posts	Posted 09/03/2016 10:04 am I think a net 63 is in order here . and I agree Franklins aren't that easy to grade. Report this Post to the Staff

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 09/03/2016 4:37 pm 63 at least, good shot at 64 with that obverse. TPGs are tough on Franklins. Report this Post to the Staff
