<p>[QUOTE="Lehigh96, post: 1440524, member: 15309"]I find myself disagreeing with you on just about every post you make. This type of speckled toning is the hallmark of mint set toned Franklins. I think Shane did a fantastic job of capturing the beauty of this coin. What I can tell you is that this type of toning looks much better from a macro perspective (in hand) than in an oversized photo which seems to accentuate the mottled nature of the speckled toning. My guess is that this is a very attractive and lustrous Franklin Half. My only problem with this coin is that it comes from a 1958 mint set which has produced some of the most incredible toned Frankies in existence. While the toning on this is nice, it is common, and I personally would pay no premium for it.</p><p><br /></p><p>BTW, Shane is a member of this forum and a very professional dealer. If you have any questions about the coin, you should ask him through E-Bay's messaging system or with a CT PM. I am sure that he would be happy to answer them.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
