Just a fun pickup.

Like the title says, nothing spectacular, just a fun pickup... And yes, I do know that it is not toned. I bought it raw last year, and have kept it raw. If you feel like it, give a shot at the grade, but that's certainly not necessary. I just bought it because it was a nice coin for the date/mm and had an attractive look. Images by Bob Campbell, and I think he did an excellent job.

Very nice coin for the date/mm indeed! I would probably call that a 65FBL - quite a scarce coin.

i agree with physics and a very nice pick up wtg

Id put her at a 65 and fbl at pcgs and 50/50 at NGC.

65/FBL. Nice Franklin.

Thank you guys! FWIW I'd grade it borderline 64-5 . If I slabbed it, it should FBL at PCGS and probably would at NGC. It cost me $30.

Tough to grade by images, but a solid ms64 with my best guess a 65. And the FBL is a shot in the dark at either grading service, both TPGs seem to be very inconsistent IMO.

Actually, all TPGs are inconsistent with grading.

Sky Man, very nice Franklin. Half of mine are like yours with no toning.
