1963-D Franklin half-dollar NGC MS-65 FBL, and a 1976-S silver Eisenhower dollar UNC details/artificial toning

Lot Title:	1963-D Franklin half-dollar NGC MS-65 FBL, and a 1976-S silver Eisenhower dollar UNC details/artificial toning
Lot Number:	865
Description:	Clem Stevens Consignment. Unless you are a devoted collector of the Franklin half-dollar series, "1963-D" means little to the casual ear that is unaware of the elusiveness of the issue with NGC's highly coveted "FBL" designation. NGC appears to have the most stringent requirements for an FBL designation, and the dies readily banged out full and complete bell lines for this gem. Gorgeous album toning has delivered strong eye-appeal to better than half of the circumference. Accompanying is a Bicentennial 1976-S Eisenhower dollar with curious artificial toning that certainly doesn't look "bad", but does offer a bit of a strange pattern. Two coin lot.

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.
