Who Doesn't Love Frankie?

Fresh from NGC:

 

Practically everything (haze, scratches) you see on the coin are either on the slab or the result of the scanner.

 

He's a Pop 1 with a handful of other PF69s with *, CAM, or UCAM. I thought this one should have made the CAM designation (reverse is a tad light) or at the very least the * designation. Oh well, can't complain about the numerical grade.

Pretty coin, especially for a Frankie. Starting a new registry set?

No, but I'llbe happy to sell it to someone who is. Either that or it's off for auction in a couple of days.

looks like a one-sided cam, and thus should've *'ed. but, then again, maybe a pf69 should look great and thus fore upward pressure on the * desig?

Wow Greg, that's incredibly nice, and I can't stand Frankies.

Greg: Were you hoping for a CAM? The obverse is (at least from the picture) but the reverse is not quite there (again, from the picture). Did you think it had a shot? What about the grade? Did you anticipate a PF69?

Nice going Greg. All the Frankies I see in proof sets are dogs.

Great grade for a Frankie!!

Then you've seen a lot of very cute and cuddly Frankies!

Very nice. You can't go wrong with an NGC PR69 Franklin. I'm a bit surprised NGC didn't STAR it due to it being an "lost Cameo", but as I've learned, they likely would on a designation review.

I was expecting the coin to come back either PF68* or PF68CAM. I think they bumped the coin to PF69 instead of giving one of those designations. However, the surfaces are really nice.

 

I might try designation review, but who knows. Considering I've only got $30 into it, I'm probably happy to sell it as is and buy me something nice with the money. Let someone else resubmit it.

 

This coin used to be a stupidly graded PCGS PR65 that I purchased in a big lot from Wondercoin.

Hoot, I think there was a typo in your reply-

It seems the words "in proof sets" were somehow incorporated in the statement you made. Please edit your post accordingly.

Tom,

 

I hope for your sake that Lucy doesn’t read this.

One wonders why it wouldn't have a STAR if it's PR69. Doesn't really make sense, does it?

Heh. Agree completely.

Even with 95 days to grade a coin, those dorks don't seem able to get it right. Congratulations on a very nice make. I'm no Franklin collector, but that is one heck of a grade!

Awesome!

Man, I wish my PCGS PR65's looked like that
