    New Franklin Coins Arrived

    Hey Guys

    As you know I'm a pharmacist and into the register came about a dozen sivler coins, some of them are Franklin Halves and one Columbian in decent condition. the JFKs I'll get to later. What do you think of these catches and how would you grade them

    If that's a regular customer, I'd ask them if they had any more and if they'd like to sell them.

    How about making them about 25% of the size they are now?....we guys still on dial up can't view them and even when one comes up I would say the photos are too large to give a good grade.

    On the 54 Halves---I would say VG...
    On the 53 Half I would say F.
    On the 50 Half I would say G/VG
    On the 49 halves I would say VG....

    Nice finds for face value!!!

    That 1953 is a D ad seems to still have a lot of Bell and Facial tone intact.
    The 1954 is an S and seems to have good detail.

    What a moron (the customer), I mean seriously... argh, what a dumb thing to do. Congratulations on the coins, Franklins ARE my personal favorite of all coins. They seem to get $5/coin minimum pretty easily now.

    I agree but they are still worn down to a low grade IMHO---the 53 is the nices---as andrgo said dealers are selling them for close to $5 at some places---I think my dealer still has them around $4.50 but haven't looked in the last few weeks.

    Why do you say that? I thought that would be a fun, lucrative career.
