<p>[QUOTE=&quot;manny9655, post: 7613031, member: 112417&quot;]The toughest one for me of the Franklins was the 1953-S.&nbsp; Strangely, I didn&#039;t have much of a problem getting a 1953-P or a 1955, the two lowest mintages of the series.&nbsp; I now have a complete set of circulated ones too, mostly VF to XF, some AU, but I would like to upgrade some of the lower grade (Fine) ones in my collection.</p><p><br /></p><p>I always liked the Franklin half dollar.&nbsp; I&#039;m old enough to remember them in circulation when I was a boy, and I have a deep admiration and respect for Mr. Franklin, and it&#039;s a lot less expensive than collecting $100 bills...&nbsp; The only thing is, the mint marks seem so tiny to these nearsighted, 65 year old eyes...on many of these coins, they don&#039;t seem to have been struck very well, at least in my opinion.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
