<p>[QUOTE=&quot;BR549, post: 1131144, member: 7110&quot;]I believe it was Bushmaster, an avid Franklin collector who was terminated from the chat boards...one thing for sure, he knew his Franklins and could tell you whether or not a Franklin had full bell lines or not. </p><p><br /></p><p>For years, a collector depends on a company to keep consistent standards in order to maximize what you have invested in your collection, for instance you have a MS-65FBL 1952-S where a two year old could point out the bell lines, you paid XXX number of dollars for that coin 5 years ago expecting it to appreciate and it did...but then you see this &quot;mushly&quot; looking one, same date &amp; mint mark, same grade and designation going for the same money because some grader sitting behind a felt pad said it looked like a FBL, when you know in your heart it&#039;s not!</p><p><br /></p><p>I understand the concept, buy the coin and not the holder...but in this case, who ever bids on this coin will get an inferior coin but valued the same as my strong bell lines that took searching and diligence to find.</p><p><br /></p><p>Sorry to here you were cut from the roster Mr. Feld, it&#039;s not right.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
