<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ddddd, post: 2715710, member: 22377&quot;]The obverse looks cameo and the reverse image is inconclusive. If it&#039;s a one-sided cameo, NGC would give a star designation and ANACS would note &quot;OBV Cameo&quot; on its holder. PCGS makes no distinction for one-sided cameos. Even if both sides are strong enough to warrant a cameo, it likely wouldn&#039;t be worth grading unless it PF 67 Cameo or higher (or deep cameo).</p><p><br /></p><p>Two NGC PF 66 Cameos sold for $64 (no CAC) and $70 (with CAC) recently on ebay. PF 67 Cameos have ranged from $100-$160. Ungraded your coin, if cameo, could sell for $15-$35. Note that grading costs are about $15-$25 per coin with NGC (hence why you&#039;d need a 66 cameo just to break even). Study the coin carefully for hairline scratches. Those can really lower the grade and make it not worth the price for grading. Also spots (milk spots, hazing) lower the value.</p><p><br /></p><p>Overall you did really well picking that coin up for melt. Study other graded Franklins (look at some photos and in-hand examples at a show or shop) and get an in-hand opinion before deciding to grade the coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
