PCGS: MS64 FBL

I don't know what that is in the hairline, but it could drop the grade even further. It definitely doesn't have the look of a gem which is what you would need to be worth having it graded. What do you think @Springford CC ?

 

MS 64 FBL ....too many hits to go 65 in my opinion

 

It looks to already be PCGS graded. You are correct that these aren't worth grading if the coin is below a 65 FBL since 64 FBL examples can be purchased in the $24-$45 range on eBay.

 

64 FBL possible 65

 

That's a tough one. I may be seeing marks on the slab and not the coin, so it makes "guessing" the grade really difficult for me. That and the fact I'm not a Franklin collector, I'd "guess," and it's just that, a guess, MS63. As for the FBL, I can't tell if it is a weak strike or just the photos, so no guess.

 

MS-63, no FBL

 

63 no fbl

 

64, FBL

 

64 no FBL

 

63 no FBL

 

@Lehigh96 had me thoughts down exactly. I really want to now what's going on in the hair.

64FBL (it wouldn't be FBL at NGC though)

 

Reveal! To answer @Lehigh96 and @Beefer518 that mess just behind his temple that you are referring to is actually just some slight toning that the light/camera caught strangely. No smudge or wear there.

 

Nailed it!

 

Only cause you guessed PCGS. Lol.

Honestly, i could barely make out the weak upper lines. But guessed that the TPG didn't put a loupe on it.

 

You don’t need to guess, you can see the clear prongs of the PCGS holder in the photos.

 

I see now that you pointed it out.
That's the difference between a phone and laptop for me.
