Afternoon everyone....

Today I am not only going to share a beautiful coin with you. I am going to share some money making information as well.

This coin series is another one that I am trying to complete. This series is very reasonable to obtain without spending a ton of money.

The coin is the Franklin half dollar. They have been selling very inexpensive for the last few years.

Let me explain.....

There are cycles to most numismatic coins. That cycle is typically 15-20 years roughly. Meaning they become high demand. Roughly 10-12 years ago these coins we selling for between 120% - 200% of their current prices.

There are no what is call “key dates”. The key to buying these is already graded, I would suggest no less then an MS64 and they must have the FBL designation. “FBL” stands for “Full Bell Lines”. This in the reverse of the coins Liberty Bell.

See the Franklin half dollars are known for having very weak strikes. No one knows why this is, but they all do. Most numismatic experts believe that only the first 5% of coins struck with each die have Full Bell lines. Which makes this very important for resale value.

The most expensive MS64 FBL in the series can be bought for $75 or under, and many can be had during auctions on eBay in the $30 -$35 range.

Here is one from my collection....

It’s a 1957-D which is a Denver Mint strike. It’s been graded by PCGS as an MS64 FBL.

You can buy these graded from NGC or PCGS, but I personally would not by any other grading companies. They do not sell as easy and are not considered accurate.

I personal use PCGS for all US coinage and NGC for all my world coins.

Now the coin....

I apologize for the crappy pictures, the glare today is ridiculous. The cartwheel luster looks like blemishes and you can barely make out the Bell Lines. Sorry

If you have any questions just ask.

Stay safe
