<p>[QUOTE=&quot;bugo, post: 1784296, member: 53226&quot;]A customer came in last night and when he was about to pay, I heard the unmistakable sound of silver clanking together.&nbsp; I looked up and saw the two halves in his hand.&nbsp; At first, I wasn&#039;t sure if they were 40% Ikes or pre-1970 JFKs as all I could see is that they were large coins.&nbsp; I took them and was shocked to find a 1952-P and a 1953-D Franklin half.&nbsp; They didn&#039;t even make it to the register, I sat them aside and bought them as soon as he left.&nbsp; I don&#039;t think they were stolen because the customer is a regular and is clean cut and doesn&#039;t look like a criminal at all.&nbsp; Before I saw these halves, I thought the Franklin design was ugly from the pictures that I had seen, but when I held these in my hand I realized how beautiful they are.&nbsp; Not a bad pickup for $1.&nbsp; They&#039;re in good shape for 60 year old silver coins.&nbsp; I also pulled a 1964 silver dime out of a roll.&nbsp; 3 silvers in one 8 hour shift isn&#039;t bad.&nbsp; I was ecstatic when I realized what they were and was in a good mood for the rest of the night.&nbsp; Apologies for the quickie phone pictures.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img src="http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u126/bugo348/franklinhalvesobverse_zps641419d8.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img src="http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u126/bugo348/franklinhalvesreverse_zpsb3f8783f.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
