ProAmerica Valued Member United States 64 Posts	Posted 09/25/2014 10:25 am I remember in the past how someone wanted to sell me a shiny half dollar like that for $9 and I turned it down for being too expensive. I think I made a bad deal? Report this Post to the Staff
supgog Pillar of the Community Israel 2420 Posts	Posted 09/25/2014 10:38 am Yes, seller's photo. @ProAmerica, it depends which year/mintmark it was. I'd buy any MS64 Franklin for 9$ of it looks as lustrous as this one. Report this Post to the Staff

ProAmerica Valued Member United States 64 Posts	Posted 09/25/2014 11:53 am 1961 is what I think it was, idk the mintmark, but the silver was HIGHER then, so it cost more, like..$7.50 for melt Report this Post to the Staff
supgog Pillar of the Community Israel 2420 Posts	Posted 09/25/2014 11:59 am Pro- in general, UNC pre 1964 coins cost over melt. 1961 is not considered to be rarer than any other year, but still, UNC will have it's premium. 9/7.5$=20% premium, it's up to you to decide whether it worth it. I'd pay 20% over spot for any lustrous UNC Franklin, and 1951-S is considered a bit harder to get/ more expensive. Report this Post to the Staff

chettieyy Valued Member United States 297 Posts	Posted 09/26/2014 12:28 am MS-64 No FBL Des. Nice looking coin and agree with supgog as to the 51-s being a bit harder to find in real nice shape. Report this Post to the Staff
Lucky Cuss Pillar of the Community United States 4883 Posts	Posted 09/26/2014 12:54 am I've recently encountered PCGS certified Franklins with more marks than this one that were graded MS64, so that'd be the floor I'd think, with a good shot at making 65.
