58 proof franklin

[zboyle04]

this one is tough to photograph, partly due to the coin flip being rather scratched up. I have no idea how to grade these proofs but this one doesn't have any marks on it that i can see, it looks pretty high grade. there is some peripheral toning that came out weird in some shots. The reverse shots show the marked up coin flip, none of the marks shown are on the coin. these images probably are not good enough to get a real accurate grade, but maybe someone can help a little.

The major grade limiting factor on proof coins is the presence of hairlines. These are all but impossible (and some would reasonably argue impossible) to tell from photographs.

[physics-fan3.14]

It is absolutely impossible to grade a proof coin from photographs through a flip like that. Take it out of the flip (carefully!) and try again - but it is still almost impossible to grade proof coins from a photograph.

 

I can tell you, however, that it doesn't have a cameo at all, so it is not worth sending to get graded.
