I don't see any evidence of tooling. The coin looks sharply struck for a 1921, but lackluster.
I understand the difference between "oxymoron" and "moronic". To me, these comments were rude and/or uncalled for (or just plain wrong): "IMO,...
It looks like an OK coin that was purchased at a fair (though not low) price. If the PCGS guide lists it at $300, that is unrealistically high.
This is one of the sadder threads I have seen here. A number of the replies are quite rude and uncalled for. While there might be one, I am not...
The color does not look natural to me.
Yes, I believe you have a 3 1/2 legged example, though I think it will be declared genuine, rather than receive a grade.
Either the submitters think the coins will grade higher and/or are worth more than they really are. Or, they don't care - I know a number of...
It is my understanding that, among other things, the Graysheet and Bluesheet prices are based on sight-seen and sight-unseen bids, respectively....
You probably have a better chance of getting your questions answered if you make your thread titles a lot more specific, so people know what...
Why would "premiums go through the roof"? This is not some new or unknown series we are discussing. And typically, large price increases are...

In order to have any validity, any claims that Franklin half dollars are selling for more or "going high", should be backed up by numerous...
The (low) value of the coins does not justify the expense of having them graded. My guess is that the 1884-S is worth approximately $40 and the...
Welcome to the forum. The coin looks genuine, but appears to have been cleaned and retoned. At least, based on the darker image, which looks...
Because in many cases, that other opinion is far more expert than the (often biased) opinion of the coin's owner. And it can add liquidity and/or...
The coin looks like a cleaned XF45 to me. I think it has been cleaned because the surfaces and luster do not look natural.
That sounds like an overly broad generalization, as many of them can be bought for prices which seem quite low. And I wouldn't use annual guides...
The answer depends largely, upon what you mean by "retail value". No price guide is always (or even usually) accurate to begin with. In some cases...
My best guess would be AU58, as well.
For the record, even though the seller did not provide the images required by Ebay, I strongly believe that the buyer is contractually and...
