ooh, I love this game... I can't do it with Franklins though (I collect Franklins, but after 4 years still only have 4 of the 35!). I'm better at this game with Lincolns or Jeffersons.
Still no one has got it yet. These years can be ruled out since they have already been guessed- 1948 1948-D 1949-D 1951-D 1952-D 1953-D 1954-D 1954-S 1956-D 1958-D 1959-D 1964

It's really no definitive way to tell. It takes looking at hundreds of Franklins before you start to see the different strike characteristics for each date & MM.

.........make that thousands : and even then only a few dates are noticeably recognizable , even then it's hard as heck to tell ;

<< <i>okay time for a clue everyone- take a better look at the mint mark and make a new guess. >>
without magnification ?
<< <i>That would be a 1959-D reverse, weaker strike. >>
very good guess I'd say
<< <i>no way it's a '51-D Boom - stick to quarters >>
Now let's play nice children
<< <i>53-s

We have a winner!! With all the dates and mint marks to choose from how did you narrow it down? You must really know this series!
