[QUOTE="Bazz, post: 699331, member: 17274"]Okay Mr. Pie this is actually a good learning experience for me. Not only do I get to bash my head against a wall trying to figure this coin out but I actually have an uncirculated 1959 Franklin to compare that was bought for me as a present many years ago. Let me list some differences; 1. Yours is quite a bit more grimy or dirty, if you will. My coin is cleaner which for grading purposes probably doesnt mean much except that mine has sat in a US Mint case from the outset. 2. The crack in the bell is more clear in my coin than yours, although they both seem to be full bell line coins. 3. The writing on the bell is visible on your coin and not mine. 4. My coin is Denver minted and yours is Philadelphia. Now that I have a comparison and I know that my coin is unc I will up the grade. How about 67?[/QUOTE]
