Hard to get a picture outside of the OGP, as there is too much reflection off the mirror-like surface. The first pics are in the OGP, and the lines are in the plastic. Getting ready to submit this with some other coins. Opinions welcome.
It would be nice, but I greatly doubt PCGS would give a PR70 on a 1960 Proof Franklin. I think any thing less than Cameo would only go as high as 69. I hope you get one though!!
It would be amazing for it to Grade PR70. I hope it does for sake. Please let us know what it grades.
Plan to let you know, once I get them back in....2 months? Will be VERY disappointed in anything less than PR69. My pictures don't come anywhere close to doing the coin justice.
Thank you, sir. Finally getting around to getting educated about what I have collected and put away over the years. Some is great, some is good, others are crap. And so it goes. As long as I'm having fun with it along the way, that's what really matters.
In hand, 70's for both MS & PF are fairly easy to identify, but it is almost impossible to make this determination from photos. Good luck on your submission. Chris
Hoping for the best, but planning for the worst...not that a 69 would be bad, but a 68 and I would lose respect for PCGS, that's for sure.Time will tell. Thanks for the interest, likes and responses everyone.
Not saying I would do this, but in some cases the difference in one grade point could mean the difference in thousands of dollars of value. Also no one has come up with a machine to grade coins yet, so in anything a human hand(or in this case eye) does has some degree of human error. That means that different graders from different companies may grade a coin differently. I've heard stories of people sending coins in several time to different companies in hope they grade the coin the grade they want. If you do get a 69 or 68 from PCGS you can always bust it out of the PCGS slab and send it in to NGC and see if they will grade it higher. It's always an option.
