[QUOTE="Speedy, post: 160810, member: 705"]It was just a mess up----everyone does that---me, you, NGC and PCGS....they are the best coin graders for Franklin Halves....were there any hairlines on the coins that could have been made from being in the mint set??...if I see a coin with hairlines I always pass--even if its not cleaning I don't want to take the chance and mess up---maybe that was what NGC thought---they would much rather be safe than sorry. The reason I suggest getting such a coin graded is this---unless you get someone collecting Franklin Halves most dealers or such don't know how to grade them and such and would under value them---if they are graded they go by the Gray Sheet and such and you get a better price---the other reason is this---lets say you have the coin in a 2x2---it gets dropped one day and you MS66FBL coins becomes a MS64 coin because of the nice nick on the face---there aren't that many MS66FBL coins around...in fact on this date NGC has only graded...7 with ONE higher...
