The mirrors on the die are a bit faded from use.&nbsp; This is not unusual for early 50s proofs.&nbsp; Later, the coins all tend to be more brightly mirrored. 1950 Franklins that look like 1956s are few and far between, most are lustrous, but still very flashy.&nbsp; Were that quarter a business strike, in that kind of shape it would be worth a lot more than a proof.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
