Lot Title: Two transferred rolls of BU 1955 Franklin half-dollars
Description: It is obvious these tubes contain transferred rolls of 1955 Franklin halves. Both tubes feature bookends (end-of-roll toned coins), and the edges of all the coins match up consistently. Chances are the source rolls were themselves hand wrapped rolls, because multiple dies are evident for the coins contained herein. Most importantly, your cataloger noted at least several "bugs bunny" coins - itself a sufficient to place a premium bid. Also, a quick sampling shows that these coins should average MS-62 through MS-64. Excellent rolls!

This lot may contain an item not certified by ANACS, PCGS, or NGC. While Scotsman Auction Co. is typically conservative in our descriptions of items not certified by one of these companies, we cannot guarantee our grading estimation will match their grade. We highly recommend that collectors seeking items certified by a third-party grading service only bid on items that have already been certified. No lot can be returned because of a variance in judgment with regards to grade.
