Found this PCGS certified Franklin that exhibits the same blue band but completely toned central section. Mine isn't that much of a freak after...
Lehigh, Excellent post you gave and it explains a lot about the logic that they use and of course they have to look out for people artificially...
There have been comments about toning on here and that the way my parents put these in the attic was environmental damage. Storing in mint bags...
Do you mean to say that as long as a coin passes their coin sniffer test then they will not question the toning? If that was the case then they...
I really do appreciate the comments that everyone is giving. The pictures really make the coin look horrible and will have to wait to get them...
Would love to hear your opinions on whether this was appropriately graded at MS65? The only tick noticiable under magnification is the one on the...
And I wish my parents had given me the collection instead of storing them in their attic which I had no idea about. All the ones in pill bottles...
Here is a picture of one I happen to have on this computer and have quite a few of these I pulled out of the albums with some better than this and...

I've come to the decision that no matter which way the grading goes I'll still have this as something to remember her by. Not a huge fan of toned...
These coins have been packed in a box in a coin album for the last 20 years in my parents attic (trust me I flipped when I heard that). They...
Hi Pacecar, When I was looking at the picture I thought the same thing but it's not as soft as the picture shows. The glare from the coin washes...
All I can do is throw myself at the mercy of the grading service and see what happens. I didn't mean to get people arguing on here and really was...
Tried to get a better picture of the bell lines. That nick is driving me crazy lol. [IMG]
I really appreciate the input from everyone as this is a learning expierience for not only me but everyone who reads it. It shows that even though...
Thank you for your ratings on this but to be honest I'm feeling confused by the ratings. I'm attaching some pics of coins right from the PCGS...
Well, it looks like Grandma’s treasure chest she left me contained more than one gem for me. The photos don’t do this justice and it was tricky...
