The 1883-S Morgan dollar is the best coin you have in the bunch. It grades AU55-AU58 or thereabout but it looks cleaned and has a long vertical scratch across the cheek. I think it is probably a $50-80 coin. The 1963 Franklin grades AU58 ad may have been wiped in the reverse. It is still a 90% silver half dollar. The 1969 Kennedy half is AU details cleaned. It is still a 40% silver half dollar.

How when I am buying can I tell when a coin has been cleaned? Because the lady I bought all three from assured me that they were not. But I can't tell.I will try to take them back. Paid 150.00 morgan and 45 each for others was promised much higher grades.

There are many discussions on this forum dealing with cleaned coins. I would start with the search box for 'clean' or 'cleaned' and read up. We've all been through it and there are no shortcuts in learning how to spot a problem coin. Youarelucky to live in a time when there are plenty of resources in the internet. This education was much more costly in the past.

Quote: Paid 150.00 morgan and 45 each for others Holy crap you got ripped off. That morgan is worth $28, and the Franklin is worth $9 and the Kennedy $3.5. Return now if you can because they scammed you.

I apologize to Dieuwer for the comments. I was kind shellshocked by the truth about my new coins. I look forward to your responses. Thank you.

No offense taken. At first I thought the stars on the reverse that are on top/next to the rays looked like solder drops, but upon closer inspection they are just worn. I compared the position of the stars to my own Kennedy half and they match exactly.
