Let's play a game of guess the grade....Frankie Style

[kryptonitecomics]

Just got these three coins back from PCGS and I must say I was off on 2 of the 3 grades. I consider myself a very good grader when it comes to frankies and I am usually spot on with this series when I submit to NGC....but in this case.....the grades were different then I expected. I am not saying the grades were bad or inaccurate at all as they were quite good....just saying that I don't have a feel for PCGS's standards. So let's see if you can figure out what PCGS graded these little Mint Set beauties...

 

 

coin #1

 

 

 

 

 

coin #2

 

 

 

 

 

coin #3

I would not be surprised at all if they called all of them 66, although the top one looks more like a 65. I'm also guessing they called all of them FBL, but only the top one has a shot in my book.

 

I think I like the second one the best. The reverse of the first one is unattractive although the obverse is great. The third one doesn't do it for me.

[PCcoins]

1) 66FBL

2) 66FBL

3) 65

I'll guess 66FBL, 65FBL and 64.

Coin #1 MS-65 FBL

Coin #2 MS-65

Coin#3 MS-64

 

I already had the grades loaded from ATS

ok...here goes and thank you all for playing along.

 

I graded coin #1 MS65 FBL

#2 MS65 FBL

#3 MS66

 

PCGS graded the coins....

 

 

 

Coin #1 MS66 FBL

 

 

 

coin #2 MS65 FBL

 

 

 

coin #3 MS65

 

 

So I was a bit surprised about the grades for 1 & 3 as I graded them in reverse as coin #3 looks to have the cleanest surfaces but the least desirable of the toning patterns so ?

I like the 2nd coin!!

 

I graded all of the coins MS65 with the top one being FBL.

 

edit.....Shane you sure posted the grades fast.
