<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jtlee321, post: 2487408, member: 73983&quot;]There really are no &quot;Key Dates&quot; in the Franklin series.&nbsp; Not in the sense that there are in the Mercury Dime, Walking Liberty or Lincoln Cent series.&nbsp; There are some condition and strike rarities however.&nbsp; For example, a standard strike MS65 1953-S Franklin is worth around $100.00, that same coin in the same condition with a full strike or FBL (Full Bell Lines) designation is worth around $20,000.00.&nbsp; That is an example of a strike rarity.&nbsp; A condition rarity example would be a MS64 1949-D books for $90.00 and the next grade up at MS65 is listed at $450.00 and then to the next grade level of MS66 is now at $1850.00.</p><p><br /></p><p>What you need to do is sort through your Franklin&#039;s and separate the Uncirculated coins from the circulated ones.&nbsp; The circulated one&#039;s are essentially worth the silver contained within.&nbsp; The uncirculated coins then need to be examined individually and assigned a grade, followed by checking for Full Bell Line coins.&nbsp; A good reference to check is the PCGS Price Guide.&nbsp; This price guide is only that, a guide.&nbsp; To get a feeling for the true value, check eBay completed/sold listings.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
