48,000 Likes Celebration

A very nice looking 1953-S Franklin Half Dollar. Graded by PCGS as a
MS-65. Sure wish it was a FBL but this is a tough date to get that. There were 4,148,000 minted. The price takes a jump from MS-60 as it goes up and a four digit price in a high grade with FBL is not unusual.

I bought 3 Franklins since you been posting these.

 

Great coin @Collecting Nut! I can see why you were happy to get it.

 

Congrats CN. Great looking Franklin!

 

I do hope you are enjoying them. In higher grades the set is difficult to assemble but in lower grades it’s fairly easy. Much more difficult with FBL’s. Sure wish this was an FBL but not even close.

 

Nice coin. These really do appear to be getting more popular, FBL or not. If I was collecting Franklins I would be more concerned about milk spots than FBL. Just my opinion.

 

I agree as I look for both.

 

Awesome!!!! Congrats!!

 

Thank you, this is a tough date in the series for well struck coins.

 

I only have three, 57, 58 and 61 Denver. Don’t look like yours. And not an S. Pretty yours is!!

 

3 is better than none. Lol
