I don't see 60's with stars often, but I like it.
You can probably devise some scenario with heat and humidity and improper storage to explain those colors. But they look weird. So, I'd call it...
The 71 proof 50 cent is questionable enough that I would hesitate to call it market acceptable. I think questionable color QC is the right call here.
I'm not a huge fan of the dark crescent on the reverse, but overall that is a superb piece. The obverse really pops. I like the star for this one.
For the second Franklin, I do think that it deserves a star - but NGC did not give it one :( Who's next?
Now, how about this one? Same date and mintmark, but a sorta different pattern. In my opinion, while the above coin was quite attractive (and the...

There are a lot of misconceptions about coin collecting, and I recently read a great article by Jeff Garrett which described them. Most of this...

Not quite 24 hours, but... this coin has a PL designation and a Star. The PL is for the superb mirrors, the star is for the stunning cameo...
Oops, my bad, didn't read the rules, sorry!
Alright then, have a crack at this one. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
That Morgan, while otherwise attractive, has the same distracting toning break that the Swiss coin does.
Your pictures in post 7 have a very similar quality to my coin. I think you may have a pretty good shot at DPL. For some reason, this date...
I paid $50 for this in 2011. I was extremely fortunate to have started my PL collection before PLs really got hot. Over the past few years, PL's...
1. There were some changes to the way that dies were prepared. I'm not sure what exactly changed in the 80's, but towards the end of the 90's they...
