[QUOTE="BUncirculated, post: 1421823, member: 29581"]Coin collecting is very passionate for many, especially old timers like myself who see coins as a hobby and not a way for quickly flipping for a profit. The Franklin series is a very popular series among many collectors, myself included, and was the first series I began collecting as a teenager. That was 35 years ago. As I said, there is much I can't see on your coin because of the amount of glare in the photos. In hand would be much better for myself, or anyone else on this or other forums to make a better opinion on everything. But we work with what we have. I was not trying to discourage you from submitting this half, and quite possibly, PCGS may designate the FBL, but then again, the mark I've discussed may prevent it from getting an FBL. It's a crap shoot really. Hopefully it works out for you as the FBL can add a nice premium to the value if it comes in over 64 or 65. Good luck with it, and post the results when you get it back. I'm sure everyone would be interested in knowing what PCGS put on the label.[/QUOTE]
