    I think the surfaces and luster are commensurate with an MS66 grade, the FBL designation is deserved, and there is nothing spectacular about the eye appeal. The coin was very fortunate to get a + grade, and I have no idea why it did.

    PS, this is my brother’s coin.

    I feel good about this one. Got the FBL and the fact it was owned by your brother. I guess I penalized it for the darker area at 3pm more than NGC did.

    Just saw the price jump from 65FBL to 66+FBL. Congrats for him.

    Morgandude11 As long as it's Silver, I'm listening

    I think that the grade was in the ballpark. Not surprised at 66–album toned Frankies are often hard to grade. The + is definitely a nice bonus. I had thought no FBL, but I guess the TPG sees those bottom lines as connected. I like the coin.
