<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lehigh96, post: 415718, member: 15309&quot;]I don&#039;t collect Franklin Half Dollars and grading them is beyond my area of expertise, but from those photos, I would give a technical grade of MS65.&nbsp; The toning could be hiding some marks and it is impossible to determine the luster from the photo.&nbsp; Additionally, the toning precludes being able to determine FBL status.</p><p><br /></p><p>With regards to the toning, it is moderately attractive and very unusual.&nbsp; However, this is not the type of toning that would enable a coin to be market graded up for superb eye appeal.&nbsp; In addition, most coins will not receive a bumped up market grade unless the luster is also superlative.&nbsp; Incredible luster in combination with outstanding toning yield market graded examples.&nbsp; Without seeing the coin in hand, I will say that there is no difference between the technical grade and the assigned grade.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
