A-Penny-Sold New Member United States 26 Posts	Posted 05/23/2021 5:15 pm AU-Details improper cleaning/graffiti Edit:My reading skills are only slightly better than my grading skills. I cant guess now because I saw everyone elses guess, and it will influence mine. Why isn't that mark around Franklins chest considered graffiti? Thats from the die?

Ty2020b Pillar of the Community United States 4680 Posts	Posted 05/23/2021 6:23 pm MS65 PL. Showing some strike weakness there. With a decent amount of planchet marks still visible and softness around the bell lines, I wouldn't call this FBL. Report this Post to the Staff

NumisEd Pillar of the Community United States 5192 Posts	Posted 05/24/2021 8:52 pm Didn't know that Franklin halves could get the PL designation. Report this Post to the Staff
jimbucks Pillar of the Community United States 4692 Posts	Posted 05/24/2021 9:45 pm This series is very scarce in PL. I think only ANACS and NGC certify as such. Edited by jimbucks 05/24/2021 11:13 pm Report this Post to the Staff
