sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21788 Posts	Posted 02/11/2022 06:46 am The luster, which is now developing a patina, appears to be a little scuffed on the high points, most obviously on the reverse. Couple of very minor dings/scratches under the patina, barely visible in these pictures. MS-63 or 4. Report this Post to the Staff

I'll take a stab without looking at the responses. This is my first ever grade given on a Franklin! I don't think that is wear so I'm with uncirculated. Eye appeal is definitely struggling on the reverse but that isn't really a full point deduction I think. Strike is ok Not full bell Ms63? Drum roll.let's see what you all said!

nfine Pillar of the Community United States 3479 Posts	Posted 02/11/2022 10:32 am Technical grade - MS-65, lack of luster and reverse eye appeal could bring it down a bit. Report this Post to the Staff
CCB420 Pillar of the Community United States 588 Posts	Posted 02/11/2022 11:09 am Full disclosure, it had a grade of 63 written on its protector, but that could have been my paw in law that graded? I haven't tried an acetone dip on him yet, but should be ok huh? There were 2 coins in this certain type of protector, the one above and a 3 cent nickel, from 18 something, but both had green/bluish tones that were also left on the clear plastic envelope after removal Report this Post to the Staff
