InfiniteInterest Pillar of the Community United States 673 Posts	Posted 06/08/2008 1:34 pm Several weeks ago someone sold the shop a few proof sets from 54-64 in Capital plastic holders. The 1955 set was pretty nice, a little toning on some , and a couple I think might go Cameo. This Franklin has a stronger cameo on the obverse (still a bit weak though ), and some toning on the obverse and reverse. Does the spotting on the reverse affect your grade opinion ? The cameo is a little weak, do you think it might get a cameo designation in a TPG holder? All opinions appreciated ! Well, The spotting was not something I was willing to accept on this coin...so I had to do something about it. I was afraid it might get worse over time , so I gave it a 5 second dip. It is now a cleaned coin. If I had not told you...could you tell ? I am pretty sure I could get a grade from any TPG on this coin..Am I wrong ? I like toning on a coin, but that toning was not real attractive, and I think it looks 100% better now... Any opinions ? Thanks for looking... again !

tights24 Pillar of the Community United States 2254 Posts	Posted 06/08/2008 3:37 pm Hmmm, not sure about the spotting to be honest. I have no experiencxe with submitting anything with spots per say. I guess if they don't consider it environmental damage, they would/should ignore it... As for the cameo designation, my guess is it should get it. Most of the time cameo coins are hard to see with a photograph, but easier in hand. Unless you have cameo photography down pat, I would say this would look even deeper in hand and should easily make it. Of course, all my opinion at best. Report this Post to the Staff
InfiniteInterest Pillar of the Community United States 673 Posts	Posted 06/08/2008 10:18 pm Thanks for looking Tights24, I am going to post a couple more pics of this coin later this week if I get some time. I do like toning on coins, look at some of my posts and it is plain to see, but I also like a nice blast white coin too. This one is very nice ...but I am having a hard time with those reverse spots, and that spot behind and below the ear in the hair is a bit distracting too. Although the spotting may not detract from the grade , it does detract from the eye appeal IMO...What to do...what to do...Stay tuned. Report this Post to the Staff

ANACS would of course be safest, since they'll slab it either way. I think it's a PF66 CAM FBL. Nice coin. I have a few Franklins, and at times I think about going after a full collection. Would certainly be cheaper than trying to finish out my Walkers. Report this Post to the Staff
