[QUOTE="bsowa1029, post: 3249770, member: 34652"]Ok I guess I should have worded my original post differently. To me, the toning appears questionable. If I were to stumble upon that coin raw of course it would grab my attention. If the price were right, and for me the right price raw would be $40 because of my suspicion on the color. If I were to get it for that price I’d probably keep in raw in my collection until I decided to move on from it. I don’t think I’d ever send it in to get graded because I’d feel I was just throwing the grading fee out the window. And being a Franklin enthusiast I know how common that date is with superb eye appeal. In fact I believe that 1956 is the most common date with shimmering luster and it is one of the more common dates to have attractive color. So even in its current grade 6+FBL CAC, I honestly wouldn’t pay more than $350 if I seriously wanted the coin. If someone wants to pay $10k for it then congrats to the seller and I hope the buyer is happy.[/QUOTE]
