I also am putting pics of my Franklin set, I'm now working on upgrading them and getting all the proofs. Thanks for comments. * Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

With that said, it appears to be a beauty. Not too many bag marks noticeable, and could be FBL. Need better pics, but it could be a 65. Report this Post to the Staff

Can't tell without the right lighting about bag marks, and also can totally tell if it has FBL. My GUESS is a 64? Also, good luck on the set! I'm working on slabbed MS64 and above.....it's taking a while :) Edited by ElonU 03/23/2016 2:35 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Thanks for the comments, I actually got this one out of a scrap bin couldn't believe it was in there. Report this Post to the Staff
