<p>[QUOTE="BR549, post: 1037343, member: 7110"]The era from 1948-1955 is considered more valuable to collectors than the strikes from 1956-1963, especially the “S” minted coins from San Francisco. One needs to be aware that many, many Franklin half dollars have been dipped to increase the BU value. If done correctly, it does not hurt the value, but if dipped to many times, the luster is muted or they get a yellowish tint after time.</p><p><br /></p><p>Look forward to seeing some images. MS-60/61 Franklin’s in these years and price range is dealer cost, so I would assume the dealer you bought them from sold at a very low margin, perhaps to entice you to return.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
