Beautiful War Walkers and Possible Franklin Error/Variety (Help Requested)

[WheatFromChaff]

Picked up four boxes of halves the other day. Three looked pretty boring, but one had two 40% enders and three Walker enders (my firsts):


The first three boxes coughed up 3 40%ers between them, but that last box did not disappoint:

2x 1941
4x 1942
2x 1943
2x 1945

1x 1950
1x 1957

2x 1964
8x 40%er



Although none of these Walking Liberty dates are scarce, the condition on these pieces is just gorgeous, especially this '42 and '43:



Using PhotoGrade, they look MS-60 or better to my untrained eye. I can't help but think that the majority of the score was spread out amongst boxes that didn't come my way, but I'm still very pleased. It continues to amaze me that people look at these coins and decide to dump them into circulation.....some CRHer is probably turning in his/her grave.

The coin I would like help with is this 1950 Franklin half. The obverse appears to have at least one extra image of Franklin's neck and chin, shown here with naked eye and at 10x.



The reverse has extra lines all around the bell, possibly a negative of Franklin or a rotated bell. Naked eye and 10x:



What am I seeing here? A die clash? Your feedback is much appreciated.

HH All!

Don't know about the die issues your asking about, but MAN would that find make me smile, just seeing that pretty silver is rewarding. Thanks for sharing and hope someone else can answer your question.

*Whistle* Those are some sexy ladies. Head to your bank on Monday to put in an order. You might be lucky to catch the rest. The Franklin looks like a die clash.

Ordered another three when I picked these up on Friday, so fingers crossed.

May the silver gods be on your side to catch more boxes of the same. Good luck.

Nice finds! Die clash on that Franklin. Suggest you look more closely at the 42 Walkers. Some have slight doubling on the obverse while others have slight doubling on the reverse. See the pics in The Cherrypickers' Guide to Rare Coin Varieties.
