I try to imagine what coins look like when in hand, and I believe yours would be very attractive, and worthy of [B]atleast [/B]65 FBL. To me it begs the questions, what would the Franklin design look like and how would it look on, say the Dime? Whould they grade better? And Look fuller in detail? On the other hand, I know of a certain purple toned Franklin that sold for stupid money that caused a lot of people to believe it had been overgraded. Yours has fewer marks but no color.
