A Foursome.

[SkyMan]

Here's a foursome I just picked up from our very own Krypto Man. The images are by Shane, and I think he did an excellent job.

 

The obverse toned Roosie is a MS66*, the reverse toned Roosie is a MS67*, the Washie is a MS67, and the Frankie is a MS65FBL. IMO the Washie should be starred, so I'll be sending that back for a designation review at some point in time. Also, IMO the Frankie is NOT FBL (take a look at the lower set of lines just to the right of the crack), but it is a very pretty coin and works well with the rest of the coins. It may or may not get starred (NGC tends to be pickier for reverse toners) so I may send it in to see if gets starred. I'm contemplating putting all four in a multi-coin holder.

Great pick up's Sky

Hot dog, that Franklin is amazing. I agree that the FBL designation looks a little suspect, but that is an amazing coin! I've already laid claims to Shane's next 1957 FBL toner when he finds one, so I hope he can find one as nice as that one.

Sy, no matter how many times I open one of your posts I'm always sent to

 

Agreed on the FBL, seems to have a nick along the lines.

 

Question, if you send it back for a star review, can they strip the coin of its FBL lable?

To the best of my knowledge, no.

Dang nice set there Sy!!!!

[PCcoins]

Nice mint set toners! I was considering that 57 Washie but when I asked Shane

about he said it was sold. I do love the colors!

[robec1347]

Those are incredible toners Sy. You just keep raising the bar don't you?

[Oldtrader3]

Nice coins, Sy. Like the '57-D half reverse toning.

[SkyMan]

Thanks everybody for all the nice comments!

 

... You just keep raising the bar don't you? ...

 

Well, in the old days you could often find me hanging around a bar, so it's only fitting to be doing something productive with a bar now-a-days.

Wow and just think that is my birth year, hint hint. Really though beautiful coins and images.

Yes they can - They can REGRADE/REDESIGNATE ANY COIN THEY FEEL IS NOT GRADED PROPERLY even if sent in for a reholder!
