<p>[QUOTE=&quot;1865King, post: 7599232, member: 103207&quot;]I like the picture Pickin and Grinin posted.&nbsp; However, I could see the coin had a number of flaws.&nbsp; Without looking at Pickin&#039;s pictures.&nbsp; That coin has way to many HITS!!!&nbsp;&nbsp; It&#039;s not 67+ plus quality.&nbsp;&nbsp; I started to put of Franklins together back in the late 70&#039;s because they were dirt cheap in uncirculated or proof.&nbsp;&nbsp; I still have most of the ones I bought but, just haven&#039;t gotten around to selling them.&nbsp; Back then that 58 could have been bought for less than $25.00.&nbsp;&nbsp; I think people seem to forget or don&#039;t realize in the 1950&#039;s there were a lot of guys collecting coins by the roll.&nbsp;&nbsp; I wouldn&#039;t be surprised if there were millions of Franklin half dollars sitting in original rolls or in safe deposit boxes or in the back on someone&#039;s closet.&nbsp; I knew dealers in the 70&#039;s and early 80&#039;s that had them in stock in roll quantity.&nbsp; I&#039;m sure a lot were also melted when silver hit $50.00 an ounce.&nbsp; Personally, I wouldn&#039;t pay big money for any coin minted after 1940.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
