Ben Franklin Halves

That makes sense. It definitely looks that way.

A top 3 series for all collectors. Beautiful when toned.

 

Who decided there had to be an eagle?

 

Congress

I think it was required on all silver coins over 10 cents value.

 

I think maybe congress passed some law long, long ago that all coins were supposed to have presidents on them.

 

I wanted to see if this was true and found this:

So maybe there never was a law passed stating presidents had to be on coins.

 

Is hoarding the same as collecting? :scratch:

 

Sort of.

 

Actually, I think it's required for all coins over a quarter of a dollar.

 

Are you still talking about silver coins?

 

I hope this turns out right. If not I'll post sometime later. This is one of my Franklin with cameo. :thumb:

 

Love the series and just got my first graded.one...an old ngc pf 65 which looks like that but didn't get cameo. Elegant solution: leave jfk on clad and put ben on the silver proof sets. No more under a million!

 

Yes indeed!
