<p>[QUOTE=&quot;physics-fan3.14, post: 857375, member: 19165&quot;]Leadfoot&#039;s comment about looking for luster is the key to telling AU from UNC. Also, look for discoloration on the high points, rather than significant wear. Many of those later dates were struck with significantly less detail than the early dates. The same goes for the S mint coins - judging by just the details, you could easily call a BU coin VF. </p><p><br /></p><p>For everything you need to know about the Franklin series, I highly suggest taking a while and looking at my (award winning) NGC Registry set, linked in my signature below. I tried to emphasize dates with weak strikes, and I filled my set with loads of pictures. I also tried to give help with grading, and show the progression of the master over the course of the series.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
