jeffbuckes Pillar of the Community United States 840 Posts	Posted 03/03/2019 10:51 pm This one is slabbed, but I'm wondering whether to send it out for a new grade. PS: I'll reveal the grade and TPG after everyone has a chance at grading it... Report this Post to the Staff

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 03/04/2019 10:32 am Agree, 63. The TPGs can be tough on Franklins. Report this Post to the Staff
jeffbuckes Pillar of the Community United States 840 Posts	Posted 03/04/2019 4:08 pm Thanks for all the input - I'll leave this up for another day or so then I'll reveal what the TPG said. Report this Post to the Staff
T-BOP Rest in Peace United States 18456 Posts	Posted 03/04/2019 9:31 pm The coin only shows like 2 small hits ,no scratches .I think it's just a slightly weak strike, not uncommon . MS-64 . Report this Post to the Staff
Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 03/04/2019 9:41 pm Pics are dark in the critical obverse fields on both sides. Grades are just stabs on this one. Report this Post to the Staff
jeffbuckes Pillar of the Community United States 840 Posts	Posted 03/04/2019 11:13 pm PCI gave this one MS65 FBL... It has a bit of toning which I like, but FBL? Thoughts...? PS: It came in a bulk lot I picked up some years ago so I got it sight unseen... Report this Post to the Staff
txgolfer56 Valued Member United States 475 Posts	Posted 03/06/2019 4:22 pm A bit generous on the FBL. I don't see it from these pictures. Overall a nice coin. Clean, minor marks. Agree with MS65, Report this Post to the Staff
T-BOP Rest in Peace United States 18456 Posts	Posted 03/06/2019 4:27 pm I disagree on the Full Bell Lines . Report this Post to the Staff
jeffbuckes Pillar of the Community United States 840 Posts	Posted 03/06/2019 9:31 pm I'm torn on this one - the FBL might be there, the pics don't capture it. The TPG said yes, but...? Anyway, I'm about ready to sell the coin, I just don't know what to ask - there's a big price jump on higher-grade Franklins, especially if the the FBL holds up... Thoughts? PS: I love the color on this coin. Report this Post to the Staff
T-BOP Rest in Peace United States 18456 Posts	Posted 03/07/2019 08:34 am If it wasn't slabbed and graded by one of the top 3 TPG you might have a problem with a buyer wanting to return this coin only because of it not having FBL's . Your call . Report this Post to the Staff
Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 03/07/2019 09:00 am Certainly not FBL. Report this Post to the Staff
jeffbuckes Pillar of the Community United States 840 Posts	Posted 03/07/2019 11:19 am OK, so it's not FBL - I'll be sure to highlight that in my listing. I'll post it for sale on this forum and see what happens. Thanks for all the input! Report this Post to the Staff
