billjones Pillar of the Community United States 1499 Posts	Posted 05/12/2016 11:16 am My grade would be MS-64, but I've seen at lot of variance in the grading of Franklin half dollars. On good day it might get an MS-65 from a TPG, but the mark on the bell at the bottom plus the minor marks on the face and obverse fields prompt me to grade it MS-64. Report this Post to the Staff
T-BOP Rest in Peace United States 18456 Posts	Posted 05/12/2016 3:58 pm Bill , I don't think those minor abrasions on his face would warrant a grade of 64 . The hit on the bell maybe . Just MHO . Report this Post to the Staff
Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 05/12/2016 4:36 pm Agree the bell hit keeps it at 64. Otherwise, very choice. I think the TPGs are tougher on Franklins than almost any other series. Edited by Coinfrog 05/12/2016 4:37 pm Report this Post to the Staff
