rh13 Valued Member United States 465 Posts	Posted 12/14/2010 9:07 pm I have seen some of these on e-bay going for crazy money,,does this coin appear to have been polished,or what would be the give away of a cleaned coin,,last what would this be graded at,,VF? Report this Post to the Staff

upstate Pillar of the Community United States 3283 Posts	Posted 12/16/2010 09:24 am I would say this half is F15-VF20, so it may slip in at VF It does not look polished, or harshly cleaned, but it probably is cleaned (dipped) The color is too even for a coin with the amount of wear this coin has, especially around the devices flagging it as a cleaned coin.

rh13 Valued Member United States 465 Posts	Posted 12/16/2010 6:24 pm Thanks,so the amount of wear does not = what the coin should show in color?Makes sense,, Report this Post to the Staff
biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 12/16/2010 8:23 pm The 1949-S Franklin is the key of the Franklin business strike series so it does command a premium in all grades. I would grade it VF but I have a question about the provided images- are they scans or photos? Report this Post to the Staff
TNG Bedrock of the Community United States 10284 Posts	Posted 12/16/2010 8:27 pm I think it just makes VF20 myself maybe F15 It lacks lines on the bell. Report this Post to the Staff
