Most will sacrifice FBL for grade since the 53 S would be a show stopper for the vast majority of people

Grade and eye appeal are everything for me.

I think there is an issue with the poll since voted for FBL with lower grade but that shows as having zero votes. anyone can put together a set of MS65 Franklins, a challenge is MS franklins with FBL. What we like however doesn't matter; ultimately its your choice

Should only be considered in MS grades (that have no wear).
Wear would mask if FBL or not.
Having said that,
I would prefer an FBL in MS60, to a non FBL MS62.
I would not prefer an FBL in MS63, to a non FBL in MS65.
Still comes down to a matter of value judgement.
That judgement has to be yours.
If grades are the same, then a no brainer: Choose the FBL every time.

I will take MS65 w/o FLB anytime over MS63 w/FBL.

Technical Grade + Eye Appeal = Value.
Strike is a post numerical assignment under eye appeal.

I voted grade over FBL designation as well.

I looked for a decent 1953-S for years. I had a shabby one in my Dansco I needed to upgrade.
Well I found one at the Manchester, New Hampshire show for $38. Pretty nice coin.

If you choose to go FBL over grade, be sure to have a high coin budget . But that's not even an issue per-say . I would much rather have a frosty white MS-65 w/out FBL . Then a 63 with FBL hands down .  |

I would prefer an MS-65 coin without FBL definitely.

You could ask the same sort of question that started this thread off, with FSB's in relation to Dimes.
