Opinions on this 1956 Franklin Half

holeinone1972

I could not grade a Franky if my life depended on it. This one seems nice but I would like some opinions on it.



So what do you think, and how about an approximate value?
Is it worth slabbing?

Thanks off to work.

solid 65, nice coin

That's a Boomer with Great Luster and a touch of color...

I give it a 64 with a shot at 65, hard to tell if it's FBL from the photo but it looks like it has a shot at that as well...

Very nice frankie, one's with this eye appeal are hard to come by...

MS64...no fbl (shot 65)....great luster, average toning, good eye appeal. In my opinion not worth the grading fees as you can pick up these coins graded for $30 bucks all day long.

That is what I figured.

I have a roll of them, in a tube. This was the top piece.
What do you think a roll like this is worth?

This is the only one with color.

Maybe I will stick it in my 7070.

Love the color --- great luster---- 64 non FBL ---- maybe 65 but unlikely looks to have to many ticks and hits for 65.

Looks like rolls in tubes are trading for around $275 on Ebay so that could be a good starting point if the rest of the coins are untoned

Nice attractive Frankie. 64 or 5 depending on whether the grader got laid the night before. Given that it came out of a roll I'm going to say 64. Hard to tell on FBLness from the pic. Not worth slabbing.

I believe it would grade ms65 because the luster looks strong.

It is seriously in need of a dipping. Cheers, RickO

64.75 no FBL

Ya, 64ish if not for the rub on his head. Nice frank.

It also has some marks in the field left of the head included with the rubbing on the head. I say MS 63 because of the number of marks. Sweet looking coin though!

Nice coin, nice color, nice luster.
64, too much junk of Ben's head and face.

PawPaul

........63 .............very pretty

The color is awesome, but the marks will keep it from going above 64 (No Bell Lines).

This is the most accurate observation that I've seen so far. Look at the hair next to the temple. Those scuffs look pretty deep to me, and might actually make the grade more like 62.
