[QUOTE="Speedy, post: 163986, member: 705"]Well I'm in no way a good grader or an expert on Franklins but here are my thoughts----these coins have been scaned so the luster isn't showing but I would say that they have abit but will wait and see what you say... On the 1950--it looks like its a low MS61/2--the reasons being while the hair looks flat I think that it was alittle weakly struck and if you would say that there is alot of luster than that would also point that it is MS On the 1949-S---nice harder to find key date coin---it can get $$$....it looks like an MS63---it almost looks FBL but I can't be sure--take a look---don't worry about the area close around the real Crack and near the ends of both sides---both grading companies will forgive alittle bit if there is a mark there...if I'm right and you got it cheap then you got a heck of a deal---these coins run close to $100 in MS grades---if not more---again since its a scan I could be way off on the grades---I'm guessing on all of them that there is luster. On the last one....AU58/MS60--it just looks like there is some wear on it alittle more than normal.... Check the top 2 for FBL and let us know Speedy[/QUOTE]
