Reguess the Grade - 1950 Franklin

Please guess the grade of this Franklin.
Why reguess? Well it was previously in an Anacs holder and featured here:

MS-64*

 

MS-64.........splendid color(colour).

 

64

 

Extra points for folks who enjoy color........

And one must always buy with their 'eyes'. What seems most important? The strike is average, but the color is most appealing......

 

I originally bought it raw on eBay with a dark picture where one couldn't see much. I was pleasantly surprised when I saw it in hand.

It went to Anacs back in 2015 (see linked thread in 1st post) with a mixture of coins during one of their specials. It stayed in the Anacs holder until I finally sent it to NGC recently.

It's definitely a coin that I enjoy and find very appealing.

 

And that, old friend, is what collecting is all about.

 

I'll second that!!

 

MS-62

 

I didn't guess in the previous thread, but I will say MS63* no FBL.

 

58*

 

Unc details questionable color. Just because the tpgs suck half the time. Id grade it 63 and natural

 

Nice coin 64+

 

AU58* shot AU64*

 

Really pretty. I'll go with 63.

 

I’ll reveal later tonight, so get your guesses in if you haven’t done so already.

 

MS-64, probably in an MS-65 holder because of the color.

 

Anyone else?

 

And the answer is MS 62.
So Anacs said AU 55 and NGC went MS 62. I don’t think either got it right. It looks like a 63 and I thought star worthy. It’s not FBL, so that part was correct.

No market grading here and no color bump as a 62 pretty much says there is little value above raw. The funny thing is that it might have been worth more as a 58 (especially with a star).

Maybe I’ll wait another 4 years and send it in again?

 

I would pay 64 money for it.
