Is it behind some kind of plastic, or are the marks on the coin? PR65

These pics are a little tougher than the 59. This is another great coin. The reverse seems to have strong cameo, but the obverse shows the typical weakness on the bottom of Franklin.... with the spotting I am gonna go with PF64 but I think this one probably looks much better in hand.

This one is an NGC proof 66 cam. I now have a graded set of halves from 1953 to 1964 in proof 66 or proof 67 cameos. The Franklin half set was the first I had finished in my years of collecting and a cameo proof set seemed to be a nice progression from that original set collected 30 years ago. The remaining 50, 51, and 52 are going to be expensive.

Maybe I will follow with the Kennedy's

Very nice muddler I am missing the 50, 51, 52 and 53 proofs for my Franklin set.
I keep plugging along slowly with all my incomplete Danscos
