[QUOTE="physics-fan3.14, post: 3268418, member: 19165"]I will say, for comparison sake, the Franklin I show below is graded 65FBL. Yours has a decent strike (Pass and Stow are clearly visible, but the three lines of hair above his ear are weak). The luster appears to be the creamy type, but decent. Eye appeal is neutral (nothing significantly positive, but nothing negative either). The toning on your coin indicates that it spent many years in one of the small soap-bar style ANACS holders. Contact marks appear to be quite few, just a bit of marks on the bell. All this leads me to a 66 grade. As for bell lines..... absolutely out of the question. Marks and incompleteness abound on a date that is plentiful with fully separated lines (the date actually has a really poor strike, overall... however enough of them were struck that plenty are available with FBL.) In summary, I'd call this an MS-66, no FBL. [ATTACH=full]861516[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]861515[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
