I was interested in this 1950 Franklin PCGS MS65FBL CAC certified coin listing for low end of the PCGS price of about $195 until I noticed the following issue the word "of" in United States of America. Does this detract value from it or add to it?
Its not doubled and it looks like a die crack. It may add some value to the piece, but, not as much as that presumed green sticker on the slab. Sometimes I guess its the picture or I just don't understand grading. I'm sure its the latter. I need to be learned.
Agree with Chris, it's a hit. It's not in a prime focal area so it's not that distracting, if the rest of the coin is all that. It's up to the individual.
Not a die crack. Possible damage. Possibly a die filled with oil and dirt. Difficult to say without seeing the coin. No photo of the front but based on the reverse, I'd pass. I don't care for the dark toning. I'm working on a set of MS-64 or better PCGS FBL Natural Brite White Franklins. Only a few more to go.
Not yet, but I keep looking. It may take years but I'll find it and it will be worth the wait. And yes, it will be pricy but nowhere in the range of what I have paid for other coins in the past.
Knowing that NGC is stricter on the FBL attribution, have any of your PCGS FBL's been crossovers? Chris
All were purchased as PCGS FBL's MS-64 or higher. If it crossed, I'm not aware of it. Been working on this set for 5 plus years now.
I can't tell if whatever's going on in the "o" is raised or incuse. If it's raised, it's a die crack; otherwise it's just a ding.
