Bright white coin with much frosting like its 63-P counterpart. Superb strike with all details very, very clear. One bag mark and some light rub marks keep this coin out of the MS 66 grade. A great coin from the 1960's. Population 916/85/0. Mintage 67,069,292

Bright, white coin with some frosting of the surfaces. Strike is very exceptional for this late date coin. It was likely an early strike from new dies. A few bag marks keep this coin out of the MS 66 grade. Overall an exceptional piece from the 1960's. Population 487/30/1/0. Mintage 18,215,812

Completely white coin likely due to the plastic packaging first used in mint sets in 1960. Light rub marks keep this coin from being graded higher. Very exceptional strike when compared to most 60-P coins. Bell lines are clearly full but not among the deepest of the series. Population 840/61/0. Mintage 7,715,603

Russet toning with the reverse being darker than the obverse typical of mint set pieces of this year. Average luster. Very strongly struck on the reverse with great detail in the highest points. Weak strike on the obverse; likely from a worn die as the reverse indicates enough pressure was used. Mr. Ehrmantraut wrote in his book on Franklins that "future collectors will recognize the scarcity of the issue" when he was referring to strongly struck, gem pieces. This has proven, I believe, to not be the case as evidenced by population metrics and the low points assigned for the 58-P in registry sets even in MS 66. Population 339/17/0. 4,971,652

Luster is adequate on this coin with no heavy marks. Superb reverse strike with very strong and deep lower and upper bell lines which is atypical of most 54-S coins. The strike on the obverse is slightly weak in the area of the wisps of hair near the ear. Barest hint of toning which narrowly keeps me from considering this a brilliant white coin.

Below average luster which is the norm for a '49-D. Good strike particularly with the lower bell lines which are bold and deep. Golden toning on the obverse with medium to dark russet toning on the reverse which is somewhat distracting. I plan to replace this coin when and if I find a MS66FBL piece. Population 89/9/0.
