Wihlborg Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 Very nice franklins guy’s. Thanks for the comments about the coin guys. That was one of those ‘take a chance on a raw coin with a bad picture on eBay’ coins. Needless to say, I was quite pleased when I saw it in hand. Its now in a NGC holder graded MS-65.

rbrown4 Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 Irvin, Unfortunately that ugly cellophane apparently did not protect the Bell Lines well enough!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkyMan Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 Nice '62 Chad! That is a nice 51 Bob! Thanks, Bruce. Now believe it or not, but that one is a Ucam. Not a 68, but is an NGC UCam. Maybe for the year that is all the frost they need. I'm glad that it's a UCAM, Bob! Here's mine, it's a NGC PR66Cameo. I'm guessing the one bit of frost fade is what's stopping it, because the frost and mirrors are sure worthy of dcam'ing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robec1347 Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 I love all these Frankies. They just don't get enough attention. Rey and Irvin....very nice Franklins. Sy, both our '51s are very similar, especially the reverse. I guess we have to catch these graders on a good day. Maybe if Forida beats Ohio State in the championship game tonight, that will put them in a giddy mood. Send them in now!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbrown4 Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 If you can see past the cellophane lines, any chance of a MS-66 for this Franklin? Ben has provided me with full lines on the bell at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MunkyMan95 Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 I'd need to see it out of the cello to be sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkyMan Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 It looks like it could go 66, it's hard to tell about the luster through the cellophane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ldhair Posted April 4, 2007 Author Share Posted April 4, 2007 Nice Frankie Larry. Looks pretty close to FBL, is it? '59's are tough. Thanks Bob. PCGS gave it a 65 FBL.

I really thought it might get bagged. It was a $9.00 coin from a dealers junk bin. Is that what they call cherry picking? I was going to say 66. Show it ats and they would tell to send it to NGC for an upgrade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rbrown4 Posted April 5, 2007 Share Posted April 5, 2007 Nice Franklins Larry and Mike. Love the way the Bell stands out on that 59 and all of the toning around it. And that PF69 reverse picture is great. Here is a 1948, nothing unusual just one of those coins that has one of those looks. Rey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rbrown4 Posted April 5, 2007 Share Posted April 5, 2007 Bob, Thanks for the . I have been told that it would probably FBL at NGC and PCGS both. I am getting ready to have my Franklins looked at as a whole to see what is really there and in what condition/possible grade, etc. Rey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkyMan Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 StinkyCheese1, the way this post works is you follow the specific type of coin, e.g. in this case Franklins (half dollars per se don't hack it), or you follow the date. For example I can follow the above post with a Franklin or some coin dated 1960, let's say a Lincoln. In this case, I kind of feel like following a 1960 Franklin with a 1961.
