<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mrbrklyn, post: 226773, member: 4381&quot;]Essential I&#039;m saying that based on what I had see of Franklin Halves, even in high mint states, is that the coin looks worn out and flat.&nbsp; When you look at the proof, its a real eye opener as to the original design concept, which is far different than the general coinage result.&nbsp; A design which has such a huge difference between the master and the business strike would indicate a fault in the basic design.&nbsp; By 1959 someone thought the coin was looking worn.&nbsp; Well guess what, the coin ALWAYS looks worn, and Franklin ***always*** look bald.&nbsp; The suprise is that its not designed that way!&nbsp; So you&#039;d think&nbsp; that in 1960 that they&#039;d try to fix that since they&#039;ve gone that far as engraving a new master hub.</p><p><br /></p><p>Ruben[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
