Lot Title:
|
Franklin half-dollar collection in a Library of Coins album, Vol. 21.
|
|
Description:
|
Coins are obviously all BU and above average quality, with not a single apparent slider to be found. The consignor placed mintmarked coins into their slots with reverses facing outward, and that permits easy evaluation of the most valuable "full bell line" candidates (and there are many). 1949-S is an obvious, blazing "gem", as may be the very difficult 1949-D. 1952-D might grade MS-66! Interestingly, the album is factory labeled only 1948 through 1959-D, the rest of the slots hand lettered. These are blast-white coins, ablaze with mark-free surfaces and generally extremely well struck. Do not expect to throw out a "greysheet" bid and win, as such values are for only average collections.
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.
