<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Mint Mark, post: 2653064, member: 3321&quot;]I was hoping that one (or more) of the experts on this forum could explain to me why, more than any other series of US coin, Franklin half dollars seem to have a much larger percentage that exhibit dull and, IMO, unattractive toning. I own a few MS Franklins and nearly all of them are bright (what we old-timers used to call &quot;brilliant uncirculated&quot;). </p><p><br /></p><p>Granted, you see toned coins of every series. But, for some reason, more Franklin halves are just - again, in my opinion - downright ugly, even many in high mint state grades. Is there something about Franklins that made them more susceptible to this sort of toning?</p><p><br /></p><p>Further to that point, what is it about Morgan dollars that made them more susceptible to the rainbow toning that so many people (other than I) find attractive.?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
