Great example, guessing these pics don't do it justice.

My least loved coin, I actually purchased one for my type set otherwise, ugliest coin ever. Personally am not a fan at all. Even such a high rated one as yours, it's such an ugly coin. No love here for ugly Ben :(

Come on H, what's not to love about that balding hippy?  Nice scarce example! |

Are the lines in the fields on both sides, especially the reverse, on the holder?

You are referring to die polishing lines.

I was wondering if that is what they were. Thanks.

This thread sent me on a scavenger hunt in my digital inventory records. Ever since I first digitized my inventory in 1996, I have not handled even one PL Franklin. Scarce indeed! Nice coin, and thanks for sharing it @jimbucks! |

If it was me, I would have run it through NGC/NCS conservation before grading. Cloudy fields detract from the eye appeal IMHO. Especially on a PL.

To me it looks like its all scratched. Even with a CAC sticker I would have passed.  But I would generally pass on any ugly Ben  |

Maybe scarce, but not attractive. I'd have passed on it unless it was CHEAP.
On the other hand it would probably be easily saleable to a registry collector who just cares about the slab label and not what the coin looks like.
