Just received 1955 Franklin Half

What do you think for grade? The contact marks are accentuated in the photos compared to eye. Are the pics good enough to hazard any opinions? Thanks!



Any and all comments are welcome!

I'd call it EF.

 

MS64

 

I'm not skilled enough to grade, but I really like your new arrival!
Very, very nice and thanks for presenting.

63 or 64

 

Nice coin color & tone, but I don't like the contact marks.

Unc-Details

 

Definitely MS , I'd say 63-64 as I can't see the fields well . It is a good looking coin though .

 

Why would you say EF , where's the wear ?

 

The pics aren't that great, but it could be a 64. I can't determine the status of the bell lines from those pictures.

 

I'm in the 63 camp, Nice coin!

 

It's a photograph. In hand the coin may look better and I'd be able to tell if the flat hair over the ear is normal, till then I'll be conservative.

Virtually all Uncirculated coins are really 'too lightly circulated to show any noticeable wear.'

Experiment, take an uncirculated coin, carry it around in your change pocket all the time and check it at weekly intervals for grade. I doubt if it'll be noticably worn in a month of 'circulation'

 

You be cray cray

 

Is call it a 63. The strike is a bit weak, but it looks like it has nice luster.

 

Are you being serious? I hope not.

It looks like a MS64 based on the images.

 

nice unc

 

Me too

 

Good looking, lustrous Franklin. MS 63.

 

63.

 

I opine 63 for sure, maybe 64

 

IMO, acne is never pretty especially on a coin, lot of high point chatter, fields are fairly clear, picture does not show bell lines clearly enough to determine if they are full. I would go MS62.
