<p>[QUOTE=&quot;SilverkingE, post: 1052148, member: 28273&quot;]<b>NES Graded MS69 FBL 1963 D Franklin 50C</b></p><p><br /></p><p>Well I guess nothing beats experience like experience. It would have been nice to have known about this site BEFORE I bought the coin.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>After purchase and delivery I gave it a close examination (I use a microscope) and first of all, even though it was a 1963 D Franklin 50C NES MS69 FBL, I was a bit skeptical because to get an MS69 it has to be some top grade stuff. Only thing higher that I know of is MS70 and I have NEVER actually seen a coin of that grade.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The coin is nice but there are four triangular shaped indentations on Benny&#039;s cheek (I have seen this same mark on some Kennedy coins) and several minute scratches on both sides. The coin appears to have been cleaned at one time in it&#039;s history, judging from the mild patina that only shows up around the lettering and the rim.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I never would have graded this coin an MS69 even though I am not a professional grader, MS60 at best.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Last of all, the case appears to have been tampered with going by the minute chips in the case itself where it locks together, again not quite visible to the naked eye.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Thanks for listening and I will refer to CoinTalk more often in the future. I just registered today after finding this thread on a Google Search.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>John</p><p>Ebay - 24adollar</p><p>Silverking Enterprises</p><p>Crestline, California[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
