Ceylon62 Pillar of the Community United States 1285 Posts	Posted 07/24/2011 07:11 am Looking for grade opinions on this half I picked up yesterday. Pics not the best (of the teeth) but sort of can see it. After having put the coin in the flip did I learn it could be a bug's bunny variety. Thanks Report this Post to the Staff

Funny Money Valued Member United States 424 Posts	Posted 07/24/2011 08:46 am I'll give it a shot, I love the Franklin's. Think it is MS, but has a lot of distracting contact marks. I can't really tell if it's a Bugs variety. MS 60 in my opinion Report this Post to the Staff
okiepb Pillar of the Community United States 1213 Posts	Posted 07/24/2011 09:13 am With all the dings & marks on this one, I'd say it's been in circulation, so I'd give it an AU at best. Report this Post to the Staff

busthalf Pillar of the Community United States 1304 Posts	Posted 07/24/2011 5:56 pm I elarged the pic. really tried to find wear. Possible wear REVERSE: left side bottom of bell. (may be week strike). Considering the amount of marks it may have seen some circulation. that was already noted) Looks to have good luster. OK wear= AU-58 no wear= MS-62 Report this Post to the Staff
Ceylon62 Pillar of the Community United States 1285 Posts	Posted 07/25/2011 06:45 am Thanks for the comments and weak strike is a very good possibility. Either way I am happy with this addition. Report this Post to the Staff

Kopper Ken Pillar of the Community United States 3402 Posts	Posted 07/31/2011 08:34 am Nice coin with the BB variety. Looks like wear so I would give it an AU. I also noticed you have a double error coin! 1) BB teeth variety 2) Cracked Bell variety! Com'on it was a little funny KK Report this Post to the Staff
