Eighteen Franklin half-dollars certified MS-64 by PCGS

Lot Title:	Eighteen Franklin half-dollars certified MS-64 by PCGS
Lot Number:	488
Description:	Clem Stevens Collection. A little repetition herein nonetheless does not prevent this from being an admirable selection of Franklin half-dollars, and the group mixes white pieces in with a healthy portion of toned examples.

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.
