    I gotta agree the toning makes it tough, but if ya blow it up enough .......

    Even if I only use the bottom set of lines, I gotta say no on this one Mike :(

    I think it may be MS, not FBL, and the toning, to me, has seriously poor eye appeal.

    Ugly as sin. It'd be my first MS cull.

    physics-fan3.14 You got any more of them.... prooflikes?

    Nah, I disagree. This looks like fairly standard mint set toning, and with the luster it appears decently attractive. I'd guess 65 on the grade.

    Ok... new pictures. I tried to capture the bell lines as best I could.

    I would say no; too much blending to left of bell lines.

    With these new pictures, I think yes, it is probably FBL.

    It’s so difficult to capture the lines

    I used to collect FBL Franklins. Capturing the bell lines accurately is absolutely one of the hardest things to show accurately in a photo.

    Here’s my take: I don’t know if it will come back with FBL, but either way, I think the coin will 66 and with Mint Set toning will more than get me the fees back.
