Sorry, but the suggestion that an impaired proof in any grade is the equivalent of an MS specimen in the same grade is quite far-reaching and unsupportable. I'm sure that @sel 691 did not mean this as it comes across.

If I had a choice between an impaired proof and a circulated franklin, I would choose the proof every time. A roll of impaired proofs generally sell more than circulated coins. So, especially in bulk, these are more desirable for silver stacking. But the more circulated it gets the less people will be interested.

Also not exactly sure why people need photos to determine the value of an impaired proof. The difference in value is miniscule.

Photos of the Franklin. It looks much worse under the close scrutiny of the camera and LEDs. After seeing like this, I'm convinced it's worth its weight in silver.

Not much appeal, admittedly.
Rest in Peace

I agree; not much eye appeal in this case.
