<p>[QUOTE="WillGK, post: 5011482, member: 115517"]Lehigh96, exactly as I see it - MS66, MS66+, and a shot at MS67. No idea why the previous poster thought that it wasn’t even worth submitting. Also, it is a 52-P, not a 52-D as I stated in my original post, which makes it more valuable. My questions - luster and dings on reverse. Dings on reverse don’t concern me a lot, as obverse is super clean and I have read that PCGS cares more about obverse.</p><p><br /></p><p>Luster... This is my key question, other than FBL which you have answered, and I wish you would comment, as I have no experience at this stuff. I have quite a number of Franklins of very high quality, about like this. But many of them scream luster. This one doesn’t. If you had this coin in hand you would say that it has full mint luster - metal flow lines, cartwheel, no evidence of anything other than a soft, original, uniform, unbroken luster. The luster is better than the photos, but there is a uniform, light tan toning. But it doesn’t scream, it is soft. My question for you: If the luster is as good as it left the mint, of which I am convinced and believe PCGS will agree, is this good enough for a top grade?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
