Recently picked up two nice looking Franklins with what I think may be full bell lines. This is the first one, a 1953. What do you think this one grades?

MS-62. I'm jealous! I don't collect Frankies in FBL, so I'm no expert, but it looks pretty darn close.

I only have 2 Franklins right now, and I posted both last night, so I'm sure you are more qualified than I am. Thanks.

This is a candidate for a 61 but I don't see many of those on Franklins so I will go with 62 and not FBL. There appears to be a weak spot on the bottom lines and remember if there is a hit across the lines it will most likely not receive FBL.

MS-62 because of reverse chatter.
