Thanks for your comments, everybody. I appreciate them! I will send it in then, to see if conservation can be done. If they could just get rid...
I’ve had this coin for over 40 years. I have been out of collecting since then, what with family and life taking priority. When I bought this...
I understand your business reasoning. I’m setting a threshold because I don’t look forward to the hassle of trying to sell coins. Fewer, higher...
Interesting. Turf wars and tribal behavior. Sounds like a typical Fortune 500 company.
Again, thanks Lehigh. I would be happy with MS64 FBL for this coin. It’s a better date than some, which gives is a bit of value. I have been...
Maybe my final FBL question: This coin looks OK, better than the photos. The reverse looks OK, but I thought that it wasn’t FBL. Then I got out...
No, never saw it, thanks! I read every post. Grade inflation might help me because I’m selling everything because if I don’t, well, I am old and...
Got it, thank you. You’ve seen it too, then. Clearly the cuts on this coin end the “continuity”, the PCGS official word, but you have seen cuts...
So here is another coin. On the first coin one area of the bell lines was disturbed, along the lines. This one is the opposite. The lines are...
Thanks! Will definitely submit. This is satin luster, which per your comments may hold it back a bit. This is relevant, because I have a couple...
Lehigh96, exactly as I see it - MS66, MS66+, and a shot at MS67. No idea why the previous poster thought that it wasn’t even worth submitting....
Not sure why people have to see the entire coin in order to evaluate FBL, but OK. Here is the first coin. Picture of reverse does not show the...
Wow, I really screwed up the list of pictures. I don’t know how this happened, and I tried to delete the entire post and start over, but messed...
Lots of good discussion and pictures of FBL from the standpoint of the quality of the strike and lines. Not a whole lot of discussion about cuts...
Yeah, craters on the moon, just what I thought when I saw them, grin. No, this isn’t a proof coin. And it was never toned. I know where this...
Here is a 59-P Franklin FBL that looks very nice in hand, great luster, clean surfaces and no noticeable hits. In the picture you can see an...
Nice. Goosenecks ordered. I am a photography klutz, but you make it sound pretty easy in your post, at least from an equipment standpoint, so...
Lehigh96, I am going to be selling all of my coins, which got me to this forum and this thread, and am in the process of getting the best of them...
