FBLs? Don't think so.

Holy smokes! Not only can I not believe it, I'm in total shock! I surely
can't see what the high bidder evidently thinks he sees! Oh, the power of
suggestion when couched in enticing words!

But, you are saying that just from the logic, right? You can't really tell
from that image whether the coin is FBL or not. I would say it's not FBL
because;

1. Why else would the picture be small enough that the critical feature of
the coin can not be discerned? For that high a priced coin, if legitimate,
I would surely have a close up that showed the lines.

2. And, for what other reason in the world would that coin be in an NTC
slab when the same coin, graded the same grade by PCGS or NGC would bring
thousands and thousands more dollars?

A very good point, Bill. As I looked at that photo, my first thought was how
someone would risk bidding that kind of money with such a tiny photo to
assess? And you would indeed think that the seller would have provided a
really close shot of those bell lines.

Exactly. These are the two points, in addition to the reputation of the seller, that would
convince me without doubt, that this coin is not a FBL Franklin.

Not that seller. He used to sell ACG crap. A real scumbag.

He's done dozens of transactions with centsles, he must know what he's

That could also make him a shill. Just a thought.

Either that, or he's a very loyal customer. He may have bought the "dream,"
like a lot of those suckers do when they buy from HSN. They have been duped by
salesmen into thinking they are making investments.

The grim reality hasn't struck yet.
