    So, this Franklin is not in a Major TPG's Tomb. I bought it because it couldn't pass up 1$ over melt.
    I am not really looking for you to guess the actual grade on the slab. Because I dont see it as right. But, your opinions are greatly appreciated. IMG_3031.JPG IMG_3032.JPG IMG_3034.JPG IMG_3040.JPG

    I'm a gonna say MS-62 with a bit of the fs-401 (TDC-50c-1956-01) clash showing, but too late in die wear for classification.

    Given that it's not a major TPG, I'll say MS64FBL.

    Personally I'd call it a 62+ no FBL.

    I like the coin at 62 and no FBL.

    That's not rub in his hair and on his shoulder? Are you guys sure this isn't AU?

    I think this is a business strike.

    With my weak grading skills, I'm at AU-55, maybe 58 on a good day, due to the cheekbone and hair.

    Edit: The reverse does look good, though, and after taking a 2nd look at the obverse, it may be an MS-60.

    I'm just seeing a lot of small hits on the high points and some chatter that the strike did not remove. It also shows a lot of die polish/scratch lines. The luster looks great.

    Typical 64, but the SEGS Slab says 70, right?

    There is some of the Bugs clash left. It is hard to light, and pic. I will post my grade and the slab grade after work.
