The design of the Franklin half, with the broad cleaner expanse of Franklin''s bust on the obverse, and the coin Liberty bell cleaner on the reverse, is an easy target for bagmarks or abrasion. A pristine coin and cleaner Franklin half, with a smooth, unblemished cheek of coin Franklin on the obverse, and equally pristine Liberty bell on the reverse, is a cleaner truly beautiful coin.
