<p>[QUOTE="Neal, post: 7807140, member: 43872"]As a kid in the early 1960s I rolled coins for a bank to earn extra money, although I usually spent my pay on coins I found going through them before wrapping. Even in those days half dollars saw very little circulation, and the Franklins were still relatively new, even the early ones. Unless they were damaged, I don't recall ever seeing a Franklin (or late WL) that would grade less than VF. They may have existed, but they certainly weren't collectible. Today you might find one that has been somebody's "pocket piece," but you will not likely find many with honest circulation wear much below VF. They only circulated lightly and for only 12 years.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
