I don't do much silver but this is an excellent grade and the color is nice as well. Congrats


Thanks! It looks great to me as well.

A real beauty! I think the toning is attractive.


Toning when it looks good is beneficial.

Cameo proofs are nice! I want a nice quality DCAM at some point, but as I am trying to do the whole set with business strike coins I don't need one YET. After I finish this set I want to do a 19th and 20th century proof set so I will get one then.

Really pretty coin, the Franklin half is one of my favorite designs, especially when it looks like this

It does look nice like this.

However, my HONEST opinion on the Franklin half design is thus. It's too low relief. The obverse is boring and bland and the reverse needs higher relief. Compare the relief on the Franklin half to similar designs of the time period. The franklin is just bland. It needs more detail IMO.
