I used to collect Franklin halves. I only bought NGC Franklins because of their stricter criteria (unless I could closely examine the PCGS coin in...
That is a really pretty dollar. Congrats on completing your set!
The coin would need to grade at least 66 to be worth the cost of submitting. These are very common coins. Based on your pictures, I do not think...
If you are unfamiliar with using acetone, it is relatively simple. If you have coins in PVC, I *strongly* recommend giving them a bath before...
Is it possible for you (or someone you trust) to take pictures of these coins? Even a quick (well lit, in focus) Iphone pic will help us a lot. If...
It is a proof. These are super common, so not worth very much - but the history of where you got it is cool.
I think it is a function of the blurry photography and the lighting, not an RPM.

A common myth.
I am very surprised that is in a problem free holder. That toning looks highly unnatural to me.
As has been mentioned, the proof in the OP would not be designated as FS. However, the strike is good: look for a strike like that on a business...
To me, the 4th step on the left (between the columns) looks incomplete, or like there is some bridging there. It may be the picture, but I...
Always cool to find Wheaties, especially steelies. As for the Morgan: can't tell if it is AU or UNC from those pictures, but it is definitely...
I wouldn't.
Not even close to true - once a coin is cracked and conserved the grade is absolutely not guaranteed. Even if the Tpg does it - read their user...
I like it at 66, no Fb (from your photos - full bands are hard to catch in pictures)
I like this one at F+
Not to me, it doesn't. To a VAMpire, it probably does.
Well, I agree that the Lincoln itself is not the most exciting coin, and the series is quite long and seemingly homogeneous. I would not want to...
Both of the coins in the OP look to have been processed and artificially toned. I would suspect MS70, as has been mentioned elsewhere in this...
Separate names with a comma.
