J P M Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 I was looking at this 1963 proof and wanted to see if we have any Franklin collectors here ? I have been told FBL is for BS strikes and suppose to cancel out if it is a proof coin. So my question is would this be worth the $50 ? I would appreciate any advice. Thanks ..JP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woods020 Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 You can beat that on eBay in a PCGS or NGC slab. Looking at recent sales I see several selling in PF66 CAM between $30 and $35. I do see some go for $50 but plenty to be had for less. And not in an ANACS slab. Not that they are bad per se. It does appear to be an older holder so you may hope for an upgrade with today’s grading standards, but it doesn’t look extra special from what I can see in the pics.

Mr.Bill347 Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 JP I bought this one for 21.45. Ungraded but very nice 👍 i Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J P M Posted August 24, 2021 Author Share Posted August 24, 2021 (edited) Thanks ,That's what I was hoping to hear, The coin is ok but I was thinking at 50 a bit high it was a mirror background in it's day but it has fogged a bit. Not sure if it would cross over unless cleaned up buy NGC conservation. MS 66 is a high grade for a Ben most are worth $400 but again Proof and BS are two different things.

gmarguli Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 That's not a real ANACS slab. It's an ANACS slab insert in an aftermarket shell. Assuming that the insert and the coin actually go together, there is a good possibility the coin is undergraded. ANACS was pretty strict on modern proofs.

Thanks for the heads up on the slab Then the coin could have been changed out at one time. Or it could be the real deal but why change the case Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
