1952 Franklin Half Proof

Looking for opinions on what this coin might grade at, considering the mark/toning in the neck area. Other than that, the coin looks awesome, in my opinion.

Reverse image would be cool. Tough to say from just one side.

 

also, pictures thru the plastic are hard to see properly

 

Here's the reverse.

 

I'll take that half, you can have the other half. Lol. But that swipe is going to hurt it as it's otherwise right up there in PF68 easy just judging it through the plastic.

 

It looks to have a lot of hairlines. 62 or 63

 

I'll bite my tongue as I write this, but would a (careful) dip improve this coin?

 

I was going to say that before the last images that show all the hairlines.
The next problem with a dip is that it would no longer match the set.

 

Do you really think a dip would do that much to it?

 

If I didn't know better, I would have been all over this with a cloth trying to get that mark off, lol. Graded or ungraded, it's still a nice set to have and pass down to the next generation.

 

I'd rather have the Quarter.

 

I've got a silver Ike with a similar mark but it's in the field. Has a little less luster. Graded PR66

 

My bad, it's an MS66. Bought it slabbed so it's probably a Blue Ike. Posted pictures where you can see the streak on the left hand side. Hope this helps.
