CarlOmaha Valued Member United States 66 Posts	Posted 02/11/2019 8:42 pm I sold most of my collection a couple of years ago and I am starting from scratch. I could not give up this one. It has a dark tope shading all over on both sides. I love to hear what you think and what you think might have caused this. Also, any speculations on the grade of it? Report this Post to the Staff

T-BOP Bedrock of the Community United States 11000 Posts	Posted 02/11/2019 8:58 pm Oh for crying out loud , I would have to be first to comment . I'm going to say MS-65 very possible FBL and a crazy but nice full tone . Proud Member of The Black Sheep Squadron ! Report this Post to the Staff
Tunnioc Pillar of the Community United States 1730 Posts	Posted 02/11/2019 9:33 pm MS64 with nicotine toning, no FBL, IMHO. Edited by Tunnioc 02/11/2019 9:39 pm Report this Post to the Staff
CarlOmaha Valued Member United States 66 Posts	Posted 02/11/2019 9:41 pm T-BOP I was surprised by your opinion of the MS65. I did not mean to trick anyone, but the toning is deceiving so I am posting some new pics from my new USB microscope. The first pics were from long ago with a camera and different lighting. These new pics are with the LED lighting of the scope and filters out the toning. Report this Post to the Staff

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 37827 Posts	Posted 02/11/2019 9:54 pm Conflicting images. When you say "tope", do you mean "taupe"? to the CCF! Report this Post to the Staff
CarlOmaha Valued Member United States 66 Posts	Posted 02/11/2019 9:59 pm Thank you, CoinFrog. Yes, I mean Taupe. Report this Post to the Staff
rayder Valued Member United States 57 Posts	Posted 02/11/2019 10:04 pm I'm a Newb so maybe my observation is way off. I'm also no expert in halves. It looks to me to be AU. A little wear on the hair and something on the coin around the edges. To me that means not MS. Looks great though. Only you can tell us the real color of that coin. Report this Post to the Staff
T-BOP Bedrock of the Community United States 11000 Posts	Posted 02/12/2019 08:56 am Where are all the Franklin half experts . I would really like to know what grade are you giving this coin . Proud Member of The Black Sheep Squadron ! Report this Post to the Staff
jbuck Moderator United States 73334 Posts	Posted 02/12/2019 09:01 am Nicely toned. AU, maybe. MS, no. A keeper for sure. Coin Collector Since 1978 My Avatar My Old Avatar My 7070 My Eisenhower Dollars CCF Members on eBay CCF eBay Search Engine Report this Post to the Staff
