Judging by its value, collectors feel this coin displays just the right mix of "aging" along the rims mixed with its original mint luster. More appropriately, collectors refer to the faint colors as "toning" and it is this framing effect giving the coin a nice quality look. Adding to the appeal is the lack of marks to the surface. Most 1952 Franklin half dollars suffer from abrasions and contact marks; disrupting the luster and detracting from its beauty. Mint state coins are available today but those that survive with just the faintest of marks to the surface are scarce, highly valued and desirable to collectors. |
