Guess the Grade - Franklin Half Dollar

I think it is only a 64, and no FBL.

My bad Sir....I shouldn't have bunked my English classes and attended grading classes.

 

it's a 66 both ways
I don't know how to grade for FBL so I have to leave that out if it's there

 

I say MS-64 FBL. Looks good.

 

I am going to say that NGC gave it an MS65 FBL and I will agree. I don't have much experience with these. Even though the fields are very clean, I think the chatter on the cheek keeps it from a 66.

 

Well there was a good many that got it right!

NGC gave it MS65 FBL.

Way to go guys!!
The fields are REALLY clean on this coin--and had the coin had alittle nicer luster I could see this as an MS66FBL.
When I first got back the coin I was really ticked that they graded it FBL with the two ticks in the lines. Then after doing alot more research and re-reading what I had before, I learned that this was the norm....I guess you could say that my coin JUST passed the mark!

Very nice coin Speedy. If I'm not mistaken you have quite a collection of Franklins. If you get a chance post them sometimes, I'd love to see them all as would everyone else.

Take Care

Well at one time I had a few sets in circulated grades...then I sold most of those and have started back on the long trip with UNC-Slabbed. I'm taking it really slow and trying to buy the coins when I find them in hand so I can check everything out.
My UNC set is only about 3 so far...an 1953-S in MS65....this coin...and one other that I can't remember the date :computer:

My Proof Collection is my pride!! I'm almost done but would like the pick up the last few with CAM....Teletrade has been selling some lately, but most of them have had tons of haze so I haven't completed that set yet.
When I do I'm sure I'll have pic's here.....

Till then---here are a few more pics!

Speedy , That '54 is beautiful , musta cost a good buck .

 

If I remember right (I'd have to check my records) it was under $100....maybe alittle over.
