 Bag marks are usually the culprit keeping these examples out of high-grade territory. 

This example I am offering is absolutely incredible! The central portion of the obverse is brilliant showcasing Franklin's extremely clean cheek, and then swirls into rings of sunburst-orange, fiery-red and teal hues. The reverse is smothered with the exact same colors the obverse offers. The luster is extremely strong making the color bounce off the surfaces. The strike is superb, and the surfaces are extremely clean.
