Ms-62

 

Pics are too dark...haRd to see the luser and the surface beneath the toning

 

I had one that looked quite a bit like that, cut straight out of OGP that got the dreaded artificial toning. I know for a fact that it was cut from an original proof set but alas. I hope yours did better.

 

No way to grade a proof from your images, but I'll guess PR-66

 

i'll guess PF-65 .... what's the prize????

 

Based on the pictures, the best I can do is guess a range - PR-64 - 67. No cameo.

 

Pictures are so dark it is hard to tell if it is proof or ms. But I meant PF-62

 

Woo Hoo, I'll send you a pm with my address.

 

I was thinking PR66 also. Mine is very similar.....also a PR66.

 

So, does that color come from the mint cellophane? I like it.

 

I have my suspicions it comes from the cellophane because I have more Franklins in various stages of the burnt orange toning. But one never knows for sure.

 

Here is my other one that I had graded with the burnt orange. Not as pretty as the first one.
