<p>[QUOTE="sjnebay, post: 62669, member: 1665"]Sorry... I've tried to photograph it but it just doesn't come out right and the scan is wayyyy out of focus. I can tell you though that I showed it to a dealer. My opinion was a 65 FBL (its a Frankie). The dealer thought it was a 66 FBL. Believe me... the coin is real eye-popper. It has only one tiny roll mark on the bell; no other bag marks... nothing! Pass and Stowe is clearly visible to the naked eye, but because of that one mark, NGC bb'd it as having been improperly cleaned. They told me on the phone that anything wrong with the coin gives it an "improperly cleaned" designation even though cleaning isn't the problem. I know the coin wasn't cleaned because I was with my Dad when he got the brand new roll from the bank when I was a child. </p><p><br /></p><p>Don't get me wrong. It's easy to misconstrue these messages. I hold nothing against you, and my opinion of you is not diminished because you like NGC. That's your opinion and you are entitled to it. I just want nothing to do with them.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
