Dvorak Valued Member United States 55 Posts	Posted 05/07/2010 06:48 am I could see MS64, but I agree with j_h_s on the lack of FBLs. Scuffs on the lower left + sizable mark on the far upper left + lack of detail to the left of the crack on the upper left. This seems like the " ebay special" of Franklin teasers. I've won a few of them as I'm trying to teach myself grading and they all seem to have these exact characteristics. Hard to go wrong at that price though. It might look a lot better in hand (or not). I may end up sending a couple to a TPG soon just to check my work. I know the cost grading is not really worth it as far as value, I see it as tuition. Report this Post to the Staff

XavierOfGreen Pillar of the Community United States 2589 Posts	Posted 05/08/2010 7:11 pm If it came back as MS 64 you would be at a loss if you sent it out for grading since the coin would be worth less than the grading fee. Report this Post to the Staff
