I am new and have not gotten anything but courteous replies to all of my questions. That being said, I will post this one for review and lay low for a while to just view so that I don't wear out my welcome. And work on my picture skills. lolol Image: Franklin 001.jpgnew.jpg 99.78 KB Image: Franklin 004.jpgnew.jpg 97.39 KB Edited by Metalman 12/03/2006 11:56 am Report this Post to the Staff

As far as the coin in question (I am not a franklin expert)I think it looks like a 64 or 65 and possibly a FBL Report this Post to the Staff
Metalman Pillar of the Community United States 7123 Posts	Posted 12/02/2006 8:08 pm Hi Tights I cant tell what is on the coin and what is on the 2X2 ? All of the little speckles are distracting when trying to grade a coin especially by photograph,, If the scratches that I see on the Bell crossing the Bell lines in two places and the ding on Franklins Cheek, and the patch to the left of the Bust are on the coin, then MS-63 Is my estimation.

tights24 Pillar of the Community United States 2254 Posts	Posted 12/03/2006 10:47 am Metalman et al, should I take the coin out of the 2X2 for photos? If I am reading my RedBook and PCGS website correctly, there is a large difference in value the higher the MS goes? I guess to make sure that is not a coin that I would want graded?

Metalman Pillar of the Community United States 7123 Posts	Posted 12/03/2006 12:02 pm Hi Tights I fixed the Date for you ,, If not out of the 2X2 then the windows should be very clean,, In the pictures anything on the windows loses the perception of being above the coin and can be mistaken as detail or damage thus throwing off the estimation of grade. Your correct that the Higher the MS grade the Higher the value, although Rebook is not the best source for current market value of a coin, completed auctions are probably the best way to get what the market is sustaining on any given coin series. ebay ,Heritage, and others.
