Went through some halves yesterday, snagged a key date (pics)

Went through 6 boxes yesterday, most of which were skunks. I did score a 64 from a teller tray, she saved it for me knowing I would want it, very cool. One of the boxes had a 68, and another had a 64 and a 48D ben. The 48 in really nice shape compared to the 49 I found a while ago, possibly even MS60? I dont know the markers, but the writing on the bell looks pretty good. Tried to capture the details in these pics. HH everyone!

Very nice find Namster and in nice condition. At least XF IMO.

Awesome find.. Nothing like a key date silver... I hope the good finds keep coming your way...

That coin, from the photos is not a MS 60 coin. BUT, it's very cool. I just don't like my friends thinking they have something they don't.

Nice Ben! I've got his twin brother right here - found it about 6 months ago. Your coin looks a little better than mine-like a nice AU55ish coin with all that luster, but any rub at all on the high points make it not MS. Sweet coin though!

Very nice! I know very strong examples of Franklins go for big premiums because there are not many out there. I think hey have to be free of bag marks though, and also be classified as a strong strike. Not bad boxes really!

Thanks for the input fellas. I guess I was being optimistic about its grade, I am very happy with it in any case.

Nice half dollar

I do not believe that is an MS. There is very weak bell lines from circulation. I would grade it NET Au 55 with the luster but some wear.

I'd call that an AU53, good shape for a coin that came out of a roll, reminds me of a bunch of franklins I found a while back.

I found a 48D if not exactly, then just a little bit nicer than yours about 3 months ago. I believe the only year I haven't found yet is the 55.

Nice one Namster! I filled several Franklin holes in August for my found in the wild Dansco....can't recall if I have that one or not. I also found one of the walkers with the obverse mint mark, unfortunately its in rough shape, but even at that redbook has it around 50-80$
