I found an excellent website for help in grading Barber coins and was hoping someone could direct me to similar sites to help me learn how to grade Franklin and Kennedy halves. Especially ones with a lot of pictures with the different grades.

No websites that I know of, but you might want to check out this book. For the Kennedys and Franklins, I would assume that the grading examples are MS because in most cases, circulated coins from those two series are only worth silver value.

Edit: I just noticed that this is a new edition that came out this summer and now with 50 series instead of 25 in the old edition, I might just have to pick this up myself

Also one of the more difficult aspects is determining FBL ( full bell lines) on the Franklins. This article helped me understand it better. Maybe you also.
