Maybe a little over graded but I went Details-Unc.

 

It was first a different grade.
There are some pretty unique toned 63D Franklins.

 

I just gave it a straight 63. Pretty coin.

 

My grade is grade is MS63 but the color on that coin is hinky, UNC Details Questionable Color.

 

I called it 65 but I have a hard time grading toned coins... the colors distract my eyes too much

 

MS64 Details.

 

AT.

Which is really unfortunate as 1963-D's with decent bell lines are hard to come by. It's not FBL, but it's close.

 

MS-63, no FBL

 

Md on the u on United, America , A in Dollar looks like 2 different lines. The T in Liberty look different . Look's like the numeral 1.

 

The color looks somewhat like a chemical spill, just from how it lays on the coin in certain spots. I'm not seeing FBL. On a real good day, MS64. Pretty coin.

 

I passed on this coin the first time I saw it. Had to confirm the RPM.
Normally I would pass on a two sided toner. This one caught my eye and is a confirmed RPM-005 D/D southwest. Die stage A

If you look at the rpm one of the pick ups is doubling to EPU. I would imagine that the U might have some doubling also.

 

QC....63 details as I think the luster looks muted

 

Layer of metal Under the top of the o in Of
Is The Rope To The Bell Connected To The Bell.

 

Here is a different look at the half. Has a lot of deep smooth luster.

 

Just giving this a bump, I will post the reveal later this evening.

 

What is the grade on the slab.
I can't see the slab, so have no idea. Can't you read it? LOL Just feeling like a snot today.

I'm guessing (and that's all it is) MS63 weak strike.

 

Sorry folks, didn't make it home last night. It's Bachelor week for me.
It got a 91. Which is Genuine QC- UNC details.
I have thought about using this coin as an first time dipping experiment. I bought it for the RPM, and not the color as it is kind a funky as @Lehigh96 and others pointed out.
Thanks for your opinions on grade. Too @Skyman yes the bell lines are just shy of being full. But I have seen worse get the attribution.

 

If you dip it, be sure to post some "after" photos to this thread!
