EDIT: I think now I see this is in the wrong place, sorry. Should I just delete?

Hello everyone.

I have a few coins that I know little about and am looking to sell. Sadly, my interests lie in other hobbies. I have read some of the grading criteria and what to look for, but still not sure where the lines are drawn, and certainly not what the coins are worth, aside from looking on ebay to see others. So here are a couple shots of this 1959 half dollar. Looking for pointers on grades and values, thanks.

Your Franklin half dollar is a nice piece of history. It has seen a fair amount of circulation and was used to purchase a variety of items with true purchasing power during the 60's. It will retain it's value in silver but not any additional value as a collector coin.

The coin looks very nice and original. However as far as value goes these coins are very common in circulated condition and thus this coin is only worth whatever intristic (silver) value it holds.

Do I see rotation? If so HOLD ON.....that could be worth a 10X silver value......

Edit I think I do see it. Flip it, it is out 30 degrees!

Am I seeing things?
