    Franklin halves are great, and very affordable. You have a 1963-D. The book says its worth 13 bucks in mint state 63.

    Looks like you have a FBL Franklin, full bell lines. It's a nice coin. Usually Franklins and Kennedys go for 10x face, but yours looks possibly AU, maybe even MS which puts it in the $10 range.

    Hello everyone,

    AU is for Almost uncirculated, and MS is for Mint State. I suggest you buy the Offical Guide to United States Coins, aka The RedBook. This book answered so many of these types of questions that when i was done I thought i knew all there was.

    Then I came here.....:bow:

    Regards,
    Stan

    Alrighty then, I've never been one to refuse a prayer. :thumb: Just an fyi, you can buy those Redbooks on ebay for slightly under $15 delivered on a BIN price and maybe less in auction if you're in a BFE area. :D

    Your Franklin looks AU to me, worth about $5. Take a look at my Franklin set linked below for everything you ever wanted to know about the series.

    Thanks! Yes, I spent roughly 7-8 years assembling that collection. You have a good eye - the 1952 is one of my favorites also.

    A lot of collectors don't like toning, but I think it adds some character to the coin.
