    I think he is talking about all of the untoned areas which are just toning breaks.

    Wish this thread had as many pages as the Morgan dollar thread!

    Purchased this one in Baltimore: IMG_3822-tile.jpg
    The coin is much more colorful than it looks in this picture.

    I was taking some pics for eBay and figured I might as well take some pics of some of my Franklins as well.
    These are all raw. A 1950 , 52, and 54 S.

    A nice 53 D with an absence of bag marks, which plague Denver issue Franklins.

    Thank you, dimeguy! I've been at it for a couple of years now. I am always on the hunt for some nice high grade raw Franklin's, attractively toned or white. I almost have one whole page filled in a binder, it looks nice.

    I hope you like them Paul, the 52 is especially nice!

    Freshly Made Boo-Boo.
    The coin is not a DDO FS-101.
    The coin IS a DDR FS-801.
    I gotta send it back now to fix the label.

    I work at a convenience store, and all three of these well-worn veterans were spent by customers when I happened to be working. My jaw hit the floor when they handed them to me. Needless to say, the halves never even got put in the drawer. I put them on top of the register and bought them as soon as the customer left. I love the patina on these coins. I love the small eagle on the reverse, and the story behind the eagle. I didn't really like Franklins until I got these, and now I love them. I had only seen them in pictures of them, and they look much better in person.

    That 53 has a nice look to it. Is it a D mint mark? Congrats on the finds, bugo!
