kidromeo New Member India 37 Posts	Posted 09/03/2008 4:37 pm Well it was graded by ANI...Its graded MS 66 FBL. I know its an overgraded slab but I bought the coin not the slab as I honestly thought it to be a MS 62 FBL. Though I am not very sure about the FBL part but I like collecting well struck coins for my world type sets. Here is the pix: Report this Post to the Staff
1sikevo Pillar of the Community United States 1130 Posts	Posted 09/03/2008 4:42 pm Most 1963s are well struck compared to earlier Franklins from the late 40s to early 50s. That said, I don't see the coin deserving FBL designation based on the pics. MS66 ? Maybe if graded by bats with cataracts. Report this Post to the Staff
kidromeo New Member India 37 Posts	Posted 09/03/2008 4:58 pm No worries 1sikevo....I paid MS 62 price for this slab....My friend who already completed MS Franklin set told me that 60s Franklins were not well struck compared to earlier ones. PCGS pop report shows less FBLs in 60s compared to other decade so I thought I cherry picked the dealer. LOL Report this Post to the Staff

Hmmm... that's contrary to what I heard from my dealer but what do I know... all my Franklins are in the form of junk silver. Report this Post to the Staff
