[QUOTE="John Burgess, post: 7323975, member: 105098"]there's your options on the DDR: [URL]http://www.varietyvista.com/11%20Franklin%20Halves/DDRs%201960.htm[/URL] I agree with PR65. Middle of the road Proof Franklin half, although PCGS or NGC might make it PR64, they are harsher in my opinion than ANACS is. But I think ANACS grades fairly. Gonna be honest with ya, I see frankins like this occasionally on Ebay, I'm not a fan of this, reverse is spotty around the edge, obverse is streaky. It's not going through the color shifts you'd expect....and just went to dark in those areas. I don't see them like this in the OMP, so I think it's some sort of an aftermarket set holder that did it, maybe the cardboard inset to one of the lens holders..... my opinion if you are in the market for The DDR, then these other factors are a consideration, but they aren't the main selling point, the DDR is. Up to you on the eye appeal, and if you don't like it, that's not gonna change later on at least, not without a crack out and a dip. the black streaks are surface toning in my opinion, Silver(I) oxide if I took a educated guess and not the usual overall hazy toning that rainbows.[/QUOTE]
