The haziness limits this to 65 in my opinion. That should be a really easy fix though, in which case this could be a 66 or 67 (or higher). It also...
geekpryde - thanks for the review. I hadn't heard of any issues with print quality before. I'm not sure what happened with your copy. As you may...
I hope you enjoy it!

I assembled an award winning set of Franklins on the NGC Registry. I know my Franklins. That has the classic blue-ish mottled hue of mint set...
I don't know what ANACS called it, but it looks like an MS-64 (no FBL) to me. It has a very dark, unappealing look, and sufficient reed marks...
Many of us have paid far more than $10 for our numismatic lessons. Call it tuition, and count it as a win.
So he AT's them too?
Congrats on finishing the collection! Any plans for upgrades? Where are you heading next as a collector?
Why not just get a real cob?
Dang, that is one of the most egregiously wrong grades I've seen in a while.
