kceb10 Valued Member United States 392 Posts	Posted 01/17/2009 09:17 am well that alot higher grade than I was giving this coin but I'm not that good at grading proof coins. I'm thinking about sending this one in to get graded Report this Post to the Staff
JimR Pillar of the Community United States 1490 Posts	Posted 01/17/2009 10:22 am Wow this is a very clean proof franklin. Based on the photos I would think you have an easy PF67 and would not be surprised if it went PF68. Report this Post to the Staff
kceb10 Valued Member United States 392 Posts	Posted 01/17/2009 11:06 am that would be really nice if it graded that high. I got it for a pretty good deal I think I, paid $40 for it Edited by kceb10 01/17/2009 11:08 am Report this Post to the Staff

As a proof coin, FBL's would be expected...and FBL is not a designation that is given by the TPG's. Quote: I got it for a pretty good deal I think I, paid $40 for it That is fantastic!

biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 01/19/2009 6:22 pm Awesome proof Franklin and I am jealous, I do not have that date yet One thing that concerns me is that it appears that there might be some fine horizontal lines across the bust and bell, possible album slide marks? It could also be photographic artifacts because I see nothing at all wrong with the fields. There is a slight amount of spotting on both sides with a small finger smudge under the bell. With that said, this coin is a lock as a cameo and has deep cameo aspirations. Quote: I'm thinking about sending this one in to get graded If there are no fine hairlines present on the main devices then that one would be a good candidate for grading. I see it as a 66/67CAM and if it went DCAM, then you hit the jackpot Report this Post to the Staff
groganking Valued Member United States 131 Posts	Posted 01/19/2009 11:53 pm Although Biokemist's concerns seems worth checking, this coin looks PF67 or better. You seem to have made a fine deal, possibly a tremendous one if it makes Deep Cam (DCAM PF67 by PCGS is listed at $1800). Great pick-up. And regardless of grade, a great coin to enjoy.
