    I remember picking through a Franklin roll that one of the coin dealers I frequented at the time had just cracked open. It felt like opening a time capsule. I should consider getting some of the coins I got from those rolls graded. Thanks, Ben!

    Interesting results. I have two original rolls of 1950 and 1951 Benjamins with similar condition coins. Luv'em.

    Hi Ben. If the line is interrupted, it is not a full line. I don't like that type of toning. *>>--->* 🦉

    Thanks, it's helpful to see to so many of the same coin at one time. I'm beginning to appreciate so-called natural toning. Here's what we really need: a coin supply company that sells paper envelopes of different compositions that will produce certain gentle toning effects. Hey, don't steal my idea, it's ©copyrighted.

      @@user-pj6bl5md5r Lol. It's real toning, right? In 1948 someone wrapped those Benjamin halves in a paper wrapper; Is that toning real or fake? Ben, do you still have that coin roll wrapper? Can I buy it from you? I want to use it again. All the best!

    The Franklin that was the last in the roll, in my opinion, is FBL. Also, I see at least two that should have, I think, graded as MS-66.

    When I'm digging through the junk silver bucket at my LCS, I love finding the coins that were the end of a roll. All toned on one side and blast white on the other side. I have quite the handful of them. I think your channel has moved to my most watched coin channel.

    In my experience any obstruction on the bell lines will result in a non designation. Same thing with full bands on Mercury dimes.

    @louissica4647 2 месяца назад +2

    A well struck coin is especially nice when it's from one of the first years of issue, where the original hub hasn't been used to create new dies multiple times yet. Look at things like the hair lines on Ben's (the guy on the coin, not the one in the video ;-) ) head and even the texturing of the fields. That gets harder to find as you look through coins from later years in a series.

    Denver mint coins are far more common in Wisconsin than their Philly counterpart upon release. The Philly mints don't regularly show up in pocket change for a year or two.

    The 1948 unopened OBW would have probably realized north of $1200 on eBay considering f the last two 1950-D and P sold for over $1300 and the 48P is a scarcer bank wrapped roll
    Just fyi
    I have had two $20 shotgun 1948-D bank wrapped rolls in my collection since 2020. At that time I paid $800 for each and since then I've had multiple offers between $2000-2400 for them and the 48-D is slightly more common than the 48P

    Franklin halves, especially if non-FBL, tend to sell for well below price guide value at auction. I appreciate others paying the grading fees for me, but it's a money pit for dealers.
    I bought an MS66 NGC common-date Franklin for $40 today. The seller eats the shipping cost. I almost feel guilty about it, but I put in my lowball bid and followed the rules and won the auction.

    The half that was graded MS64 but not full bell lines -- it would be fun if you cracked it out. Cleaned the reverse and resubmitted it. I think it had full bell lines.

    I collect Franklins. The strike designations are only *slightly* less vexing than Jefferson nickels. It seems to me that NGC is a bit stingy with the Benji halves, so much so that I stopped submitting to them after the total annihilation of my last submission. This video kinda confirms that for me. I'm all about the Benjamins, but only at PCGS now.
