Lookin' Good........

 

I thought that reverse was stunning for a junk find!

 

Nice find could it be FBL?it looks mint state most franklins are weak strikes and hard to grade.

 

By weak strike, is that why the Obverse looks a little "washed out?"

 

The glare is in all the wrong places for a grade but that's a honey of a find for a half-buck!

 

Heck dang, state the obvious.......

 

Nice find! That looks better than some of the Franklin halves I have that were priced for AU-55 and up!

 

AU details. It was cleaned.

 

Not thinking so..........

 

+1 i don't see any evidence of cleaning just because it was purchased from a junk silver lot doesn't mean it has problems.

 

It's got a lot of luster and cartwheel in hand.

I can see where the devices don't look frosty, and more like the fields. Is that what indicates cleaning?
