this market was virtually coin ignored 30 years ago. What brought it to prominence? for Quite simply, information was made available that resonated with the collecting public. At that time, high grade Morgan dollars were not even considered worth collecting by many numismatists, because they were thought sale and coin to be so plentiful. In other words, though they ranked high in categories for 1. Beauty, 2.Quality, and 4. Price, in collectors'' minds sale they ranked extremely low in category 3. - Rarity. Therefore, their desirability as a collectible was thought to coin be limited. However, several landmark books were published on Morgan dollars in the 1970''s and early 1980''s which educated the collecting public on many for aspects of the Morgan dollar series they were not aware of. Probably sale the most significant of these books, Wayne Miller''s "The Morgan and Peace Dollar Textbook", was the first book that provided an in-depth date-by-date analysis of this series along with photographs. coin Significantly, Miller was one of the first authors to estimate a date''s rarity not only in uncirculated condition, but also in gem MS 65 uncirculated condition, and gem MS 65 prooflike condition. This new information was a tremendous boon to the
involved "acid-dipping" the dies before they were polished. The solution used during the 1950 to 1970 period, a bath consisting of 5% nitric acid/95% water, was used to create an for acid-etched appearance on the die. When the die was subsequently polished and buffed, the recessed portions of the die, the devices, retained their acid-etched sale cameo. coin The very first strikes off one of these new dies would possess a gorgeous, intense cameo effect very similar in quality to the proofs minted today. The raised portions of these early strikes, for the devices (on the Franklin half, these would be the bust sale of Franklin, the lettering, and date on the obverse, and the Liberty bell, eagle, and lettering on the reverse) would display a snow-white cameo effect that would stand in stark contrast to the deep-mirrored fields coin surrounding them. The flawless, jewel-like quality of the best of these cameos for almost look like works of art rather than mere coins! Indeed, to most collectors, these coins are works of art! The frosted devices sale of these early coin cameo dies were quite delicate - one could easily scratch a bit of frost for from the die with one''s fingernail, and sale were the first part of the die to wear. Each
toned in iridescent coin shades of purple, plum, burgundy, green, orange, gold.....virtually every color of the rainbow, for can sometimes be found on a single coin! The design of the Franklin half, with the broad expanse of Franklin''s bust on the obverse, and the Liberty bell on the reverse, is an easy target for bagmarks or abrasion. A pristine Franklin half, with a smooth, unblemished cheek of Franklin sale on the obverse, and equally pristine Liberty bell on the reverse, is a truly beautiful coin. On the other hand, the simplicity of these surfaces also serves to magnify, or hilight, the smallest coin bagmark! The cheek of Franklin & the Liberty bell make easy targets. The quality of the typical uncirculated Franklin roll is quite low, with all 20 coins usually grading between MS 60 and MS 63. By comparison, if one for had the good fortune to acquire an original roll of uncirculated Walking Liberty half dollars sale (the series immediately preceding the Franklins, minted coin from 1916-1947) the general quality for of the coins would likely be quite high, with most coins grading MS 64 - MS 65.
