<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Dima, post: 4353189, member: 18037&quot;]I would eyeball it at MS61.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>My thinking/ramblings:</p><p>On the obverse, the E in liberty seems to have taken a little damage as well as the general contact/bag marks on Franklin&#039;s cheek, above his ear, and on his shoulder.&nbsp; Hair detail - I think - is consistent with MS61.&nbsp; Might be two nicks at 3 o&#039;clock, half way between Franklin&#039;s mouth and coin&#039;s rim.</p><p><br /></p><p>On the reverse, the inscription on the Liberty Bell is a bit worn.&nbsp; The eagle also appears bit smoother than on high grade MS examples.&nbsp; However, both of these could be result of weaker strike.&nbsp; Lastly, there are a few milk spots below the bell.&nbsp; This is fairly common on Franklin halves due to not properly cleaning planchets prior to striking.&nbsp; Not sure how much milk spots factor into the grade to be honest.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
