View Coin   United States 50C 1948 PCGS MS 66 Full Bell Lines The most valuable coin in my collection. Amazing mint set colors on the reverse, and the obverse is a muted, swirling, red-cocoa color. Not only are the colors rare, but very high grade. I don't think an upgrade to 66+FBL is out of reach. The grade is actually on the reverse.

Toning:
OBV: 70
REV: 96
View Coin   United States 50C 1949 PCGS MS 65 Full Bell Lines A unique piece. Nothing else to say about it. A coin with blazing luster and eye-grabbing, rainbow colors. Most of the smaller scratches on the obverse are not visible, but when you lay your eyes on the coin, all you can see is the toning!

Toning:
OBV: 96
REV: 88
View Coin   United States 50C 1950 PCGS MS 64 Full Bell Lines A fantastic coin. Absolutely unique. This is the kind of high-caliber toning only seen on Morgan dollars, never, never on Franklins. Despite being in a 64 holder, I think it is bound for a potential upgrade.

Toning:
OBV: 97
REV: 60
View Coin   United States 50C 1951 PCGS MS 66 An awesome coin! Some thin, banana yellow rim toning that often pairs with a baby blue, but here is blended with a pink-red. It may be a bit over graded, but I paid just over book for it anyway. I snatched it off of eBay barely believing my luck.

Toning:
OBV: 93
REV: 88
View Coin   United States 50C 1952 S NGC MS 66 A very nice coin I got from Dennis King. When I saw it, I thought immediately that it was out of my price range, but it wasn't. It has silky luster that shows through the uncommon and pretty toning.

Toning:
OBV: 89
REV: 75
View Coin   United States 50C 1953 D PCGS MS 65 Full Bell Lines A nice blue coin I bought raw. Pretty nice.

Toning:
OBV: 75
REV: 72
View Coin   United States 50C 1954 PCGS MS 65 Full Bell Lines This is one of my favorite pieces. A beautiful and high grade coin that I picked up on GreatCollections for a fraction of the true value. Amazing rainbow colors on the obverse and on the reverse.

Toning:
OBV: 94
REV: 85
View Coin   United States 1955 PCGS MS 65 An interesting little specimen. The coin is a bit dark, but the smooth greens, yellows and blues of the left obverse are riverlike. The other areas are less captivating.

Toning:
OBV: 75
REV: 45
View Coin OGH Unatributed Bugs Bunny United States 50C 1955 "BUGS BUNNY" FS-401 PCGS MS 65 Full Bell Lines A nice coin with pretty good toning. It displays a prominent Bugs, and the fingerprint on the reverse isn't too bad. This is in an OGH that does not note the variety.

Toning:
OBV: 65
REV: 50
View Coin   United States 50C 1960 NGC MS 65 A stunning coin, on the obverse smooth blue and peach hues, on the reverse, bright bag/cardboard toning. Absolutely great, flashy, luster as well. Definitely a very strong 65, and it is a mystery why this coin has no star. This coin is featured on the front page Larry Shapiro's website.

Toning:
OBV: 85
REV: 93
View Coin   United States 50C 1961 PCGS MS 64 One of my first coins. It has a nice white obverse, and the reverse has fantastic end roll colors: Greens, yellows, oranges, reds. The strike is a bit weak on the reverse, and on the obverse the hits a bit distracting, so this is a 64.

Toning:
OBV: None
REV: 85
