[QUOTE="RGJohn777, post: 1024608, member: 22102"][b]?[/b] Well I dunno if I agree or not. I just sold my second complete set of circulated Franklin halves basically for melt this week. There seems to be no collectible (aka numismatic) value to them in the grades that one would expect to see in the blue Whitman albums assembled by me, U, and darn near everybody else 'back when'. I suppose that higher grades or varities command higher prices but basically my observation is that these things, most Walkers, and even Barbers command quite modest ( if any) premium above their melt. I am not speaking of key dates. ---- The same seems to be true of Mercury dimes, as well as Washington quarters.
