I would call them and tell them you want to become a member and ask for their outlook. The office staff, in my experience, is exceptionally...
OK. As to general continuity of the lines, my eyesight isn’t exactly what it used to be, and I have a hard time with seeing fine technical things...
Cwart, right-on. I’m more focused on the general weakness of the lines in that area, and not so much the v-cut, which is real. However, in my...
Sal, I didn’t see your post until after I made my update - too busy trying to figure out how to post the danged pictures. So I anticipated your...
Ugh, bad photo of the lines to the right of the bell crack. I get so focused on the lines to the left of the crack that I didn’t notice that the...
Z, I think that a more fun/educational exercise might be to ask people to post their worst bell lines that they think would be acceptable to TPG...
Maybe not. Here is one of my coins, similar look, same grade, not accepted by CAC. I’d say that the graders were consistent: [ATTACH] [ATTACH]...
Thanks. That’s what the coins tell me too, side by side - if you like luster #1 is slightly nicer, if you like absence of marks #2 is the choice....
No label switch. Different submissions. And CAC looked at #1 and put a sticker on it, so #1 is a good coin at the grade. And #2 and two others...
I think #2 is a bit better, too. But it graded out straight MS65FBL. #1 got MS65+FBL. I have two more that I think are likely better than #2....

I didn’t intend this to be a guess the grade. I wanted to see if people are as confused as I am. The fact that opinions have split right down...
I’d appreciate some opinions from people who understand something about how PCGS grades Franklins. I’ve had quite a number of Franklins graded...
Well, so much for the first photo. I’ll try again. The before:[ATTACH]
I’ve submitted quite a number of Franklins to PCGS lately. At PCGS yours will get FBL or I miss my guess. I’ve had a couple that might be...
I promised to follow-up on this coin. So, PCGS didn’t do restoration, must have figured that the spot wasn’t putty and was a cleaning. They just...
Yeah, times change. And I think you’re right, what I am looking at wouldn’t effect the grade. TPGs see these things all day long and can tell...
Background: I’ve told my story here before but, again, I put quite a number of coins away, long ago, and now am getting them sorted, and the...
Already planning to. Don’t you hate it when somebody changes the channel and you don’t get to see the end of the program? Not submitting it,...
