scored a sweeeet '55 Franklin today

Picked up two boxes I had waiting at the bank today and in the first box I was pulling the occasional 40%er but then stumbled upon this beautiful 1955 Ben Franklin Half, the (arguable) key to the series! Check out the condition, too, you can really see almost all the detail on the bell on the reverse. I would say it's AU with a nice speckled tone to it. That coin was the only 90% silver half I got out of both boxes, however I did get 23 40%ers to boot.

A new slant on 55s.

DD, I was sitting on my rear end waiting for banks to open and decided to re-mint your 55. I noticed a crack in the bell so I fixed that and cleaned it up a little. Keep them sweeeet coins comin', Jim
