[QUOTE="WillGK, post: 7941507, member: 115517"]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 slightly weaker, actually. PCGS will accept a bit of weakness immediately adjacent to the bell crack. What PCGS will not accept in my experience is any cuts across the bell lines that interrupt the lines. I understand that the color may be off with your camera, but I had one that had that same general look and it came back ungraded, PVC residue. I soaked it in acetone, re-submitted it, and it came back with a straight grade. I would soak that coin if I were going to send it in. Your coin is nice, but on the basis of my experience I’d be modestly surprised if it came back 65, but anything is possible and considering the jump in price you should give it a shot. Here’s the coin that came back PVC residue. I thought it had an outside chance of being 65 FBL. Nope. 64 FBL. First photo is before, second is after.
