<p>[QUOTE="johnmilton, post: 4975577, member: 101855"]The quality of the coins that the Denver Mint made in the early 1960s was pretty bad. I happened two bank sealed rolls of 1962-D Franklin Half Dollars several years ago. I don’t think the rolls had been opened since 1962. I thought that I would find a couple really nice coins, but I didn’t. Every coin was Mint State and original white in color, but the strikes were not sharp, there were bag marks and the luster was so-so. I found one coin in the 40 that I graded MS-63 and a couple 62s. All of the others were mostly MS-61 or 60. I got a lesson why the high grade coins, MS-65 and better, are so high priced on the Grey Sheet.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
