My reply to your post was not intended to offend if it did.

Franklins are not my specialty. I my novice opinion I believe that your coin would grade above PF65. I do not know by how much. I think grading is really picky with proofs.

They made 1,247,952 of them in '57 if I am reading my 2011 RedBook correctly. A PF65 valued at $30.00 in 2011.

Slcutguy, chill out. He gave you a compliment... Maybe not a grade, but you could have just said thank you.
It's a nice proof. Nothing earth shattering, but I think I would probably say pf67.

Who graded it? Doesn't look cameo at all.
Could easily be the angle of the picture though

It looks like a nice clean proof Franklin with no major spots or distractions. I can see a possible PR 67. The visible small spotting would keep it below PR 68 for a top grading company. Still a lovely proof.

The condition of this coin is fabulous. Unmarked!
However, I am NOT impressed with the striking, for a proof coin.
Where are the FBL's? (Full Bell Lines).

It's a nice proof, but it isn't a cameo.
Which TPG gave 69 cameo?
