[QUOTE="WillGK, post: 5007665, member: 115517"]Lots of good discussion and pictures of FBL from the standpoint of the quality of the strike and lines. Not a whole lot of discussion about cuts and dings, and how they affect PCGS FBL grading. I have quite a number of Franklins, most of them being clearly yes or no on FBL. Then there are the ones that seem to have the lines that support FBL, but they have cuts and dings. Could some Franklin experts tell me what to make of these cuts and dings? The first two images are of the same coin. It is a 1952-D and it is beautiful, particularly the obverse, certainly worthy of a submission. The lower set of bell lines, which is what PCGS wants to see, are clearly full, but there is that ding directly above the clapper. I just don’t know how lenient PCGS is, on cuts and dings... I hope you can make sense out of my pictures, I am certainly not much of a photographer.
