I'm brand new so apologize if I did not upload this correctly. I was looking through my grandparents coin collection that they received from their parents. The coins are all mixed together, but I found this strange Franklin half in a roll of half dollars. Is this a fake franklin?   Edited by AndreaSummers

 to CCF. The pic is a bit small but it looks like a real coin with a counter stamp on it. John1  |

Yep. A simple counter stamp on a circulated Frankie.

No it was this thread. Maybe my phone was playing tricks on me. Looks right now.

No I saw Morgans too, it was definitely this thread, and I was on my PC.
Anyways, I have a Eisenhower with a perfect "2" stamp like that on both sides, I wonder what does this, and what compels people to do this.

I don't think there are enough valuable ones to be worth it.

I am sure that counter stamp means something to the person who did it. We may never know what. Maybe it was #6.

Your coin is very real....just counter stamped to give it some character. Very few Franklins are counterfeited. That may change with Alibaba and the Chinese corporate counterfeiters in the game now. I remember a kid in the 4th grade that tried to pass off a lead cast copy of a Walking Liberty half to pay for his lunch. It was so bad the teacher caught it! She showed it to all of us little munchkins. (Yeah, it was a long, long time ago! Lunch was 35 cents.) |

Still worth junk silver value. No collector value.
