Some more 'icky' toning for those that don't like it.  What do you think PCGS graded it? No cheating!  |

I am normally a fairly confident grader, but I have to admit, I am not much good with high grade Franklins. I have some trouble with weaker and stronger strikes.
To my eye, the inconsistent toning may or may not hide tiny nicks and scratches.
My gut feeling says MS65,
but it would surprise not a bit that it may be much higher. Big price differences with very high grades, so that grading becomes very critical.

MS66 and I'll guess it is FBL just because so many are. I would crack it and give it a dip to rid that tarnish. But really, beautiful toner... |

I'm on the fence between MS-65 and MS-66 personally, but I would say that PCGS graded it MS-66. I don't know enough about FBL to make an educated guess though. Either way it's a beautiful Franklin!

I can't quite see the bell lines right of the crack from brightness of pics. However, it's a beauty!! I will say MS66, although high grade Franklins are difficult to grade (for me, at least)  |
