- A few proof Franklin half dollars had a nice cameo appearance to them, so we sent them into NGC for grading. Let's take a look at the results.
Thanks for watching.

Franklin are the best modern coin coming to the surface....
Three Home Runs! Very Nice. 👍
Very good year. I was born in 56. I have a 1956 PF 67 TYPE 2. Great results.
Beautiful cameo halves
Three homeruns! Kinda amazing how the coins looked different after taking them out of the packaging. I understand why the mint printed those cards that came with the mint sets: "If you find any Schmotz on your coin, rest assured it's just the plastic, so save us both of our time and don't write us about it!"
Congrats! Wow, they don't know what they have done -- you are going to be out of control now. LOL! This is a perfect example of how a proper restoration/conservation can actually improve a coins appearance (and grade). The coins look so much better now. You didn't say, but... I'm going to guess you used eZest for a quick dip to remove the haze? That stuff works wonders with proof coins. Cheers! (let me know if I'm wrong) :)
I know you’re busy so if you can’t really spend time addressing my question don’t worry about it. Keep making that content though….I’m learning a lot.! Thanks.
You Hit a 3 run Homer! WTG BEN! JJ
Way to go Ben 🥇Congratulations!
You guys made the right choice and it paid off.
👍🏽
Oh my gosh! Wow! Congratulations on those grades
Wow thats awesome thats like 5 grand for just 3 half dollars! What a freaking score!
It's called "differentiation". Well done, Ben. You are our new hero!
They FINALLY threw you a bone! Wow, congrats!!
those are really great looking coins, new one to add to my list
That was very nice find. I remember purchasing those sets for $10.00 ea. Have a big stash of them. Grand kids will love me for that some day.
Can you show the cover of the cherry pickers guide you are using? There's a lot out there...
I just bought a 1959 proof set because that's the year I was born. I'm keeping the franklin half in the set. It's not a cameo. Nice video though. love the look of the Ultra Cameo.
Congrats Ben! Amazing that they graded two in such short course as 69!
INCREDIBLE PICKS!!!!

😂👏🏻👏🏻 That was funny….
Congratulations...HUGE SCORES!!!!! Absolutely gorgeous coins
Hey what’s up everyone hope you guys have a great weekend! Love the channel :)
Wow beautiful coins.
you cant get mad at those grades Ben , very nice
Congratulations on the grades!!!
Oooooo!! I’m drooling so much right now!
Man I love franklins. It’s easy and pretty cheap to get a complete set or you can do what I’m doing which is trying to acquire all of the MS coins with the fbl designation, all the proofs and all of the type coins. So far my favorite coin in my set is a 1957 triple die reverse in proof 67 with a good ole sticker from CAC
HI GEEK. WoW! YOU GOT SOME KILLER GRADES THERE. CONGRATS. THE CAMEO FRANKLINS ARE ONE OF MY FAVS FOR EYE APPEAL. I HAVE A FEW OF THEM. I HAVE ONLY ONE DEEP CAMEO. IT IS A 1954 PR66 DCAM. I LOVE EARLY DATE CAMEO TYPE COINS. CAMEO BARBERS ARE NEAT AND COSTLY.

Thanks for the information I didn't know that I would have worked of all your videos
Holy crap! Two Top Pops! What a haul. Sure would make a nice gift for a loyal customer born in 1956 - hint hint!
Don't leave me out. Also born in 56. :)
@@dalestoner2928 - well, one for each of us then!
@@TiHerr74 That would be a helluva gift. Now back to reality, signed up for Medicare A & B. Oh what fun.
@@dalestoner2928 - well, there is one on their store website and one on their eBay site. Go get em.
BTW, I’m a few months behind you with the Medicare application. How the hell did this happen? Seems like I just graduated high school last week.
@@TiHerr74 Same here. Cannot believe how time flies. Looking to retire next February and get out of the rat race.
Very nice Ben. Congrats.
Ben, great coins. Amazing results. Well done Old Pueblo team!
beautiful coins, I'm been looking for coins like them
Wow!! Congratulations those are beautiful!!!
Beautiful coins ! Thank you for sharing.
Wow love bengis and loved this video. Thanks!
You better give your engineer a couple hundred dollar bonus there Mr. Ben
I did remove some of the fuzz with some conservation **cough cleaning cough** restoration **cough cleaning cough**
Acetone, **cough**, EZest **ha-chooooo**
Damn allergies
In all seriousness very nice job. When I was putting my AU Barber half and Barber quarter sets together I couldn’t find a nice 1896-0 half dollar in any grade higher than AU53 and almost all of those were washed out and ugly so for the longest time I had a nice crusty XF45 in my registry set
Then I found a beautiful raw 96-0 at the Manchester NH coin show and ended up buying it for $1500. It took 4 -5 months and a lot of help from David Kahn but with his “aging bin” secret sauce we managed to get it into a PCGS AU58 holder (after it came back cleaned 2 or 3 times). At the time it was a pop zero coin in AU58. It didn’t take long before I out it into a heritage auction and realized $14,500 for it (PCGS price guide was $2000 ish. Which is odd they would have even had that price listed since it was a pop zero and one had never been sold. They seemed to go halfway between AU55 and MS60
Anyway that coin was bittersweet as it was amazing to find and get graded and such a rush
But I also realized it would be foolish not to sell it as the market was red hot for AU58 Barbers then
After I sold it I quickly dismantled and sold off the entire sets of half dollars and quarters (quarters were not an Everyman set and had a handful of MS coins including many key and semi key dates)
Ugh
Great information, thank you.
He shoots he scores !! Wow 🤩
They were quite generous in my opinion and 69 dcam should be reserved for the best of the best.
In my opinion they are 67 dcam and 2 @ 68 cameos Either way congrats 🍾🎈🎉
I
I just bought a PF 68 Cameo.
super awesome coins i have a few graded cameos myself love the cameos
The PR69's are not as well struck as indicated by the lack of frosting on the high points. I would have given them a PR66 grade.
WOW nice submission there! a bit surprising too, all three seem to have some weak frost on the cheeks. seems they loosened up a bit. they used to be tough as nails giving high UC grades to franklin proofs. also giving them a bath before submitting makes a huge difference.
Who else was twisting their phone around trying to pick up mint luster as he cut those plastic packs?
😂
Good job. Great video
New to this so don't hate too much lol but throughout history there's been a lot of unc and proof sets that have been cut or broken open for a specific coin which reduces the number of complete sets in circulation. Do you think it will ever get to a point when finding or the value or certain sets will go up since the number of older sets gets smaller as more and more may get cut or broke open?
Finally! A home run
Really nice coins
Nice pull on all three, NGC lists the two 69’s at $3,500 each
Good results Ben, what do the sets cost before you take them out for grading?
Nice coins
Lol, I know some people who would be disappointed that they didn’t come back as 70's
Im hoping you threw that engineer a few several hundred dollars, bonus. He deserves it, for sure. Did you eventually sell these?
Oh, and since you were getting 69s -- you might consider some of the other coins in the proof set.
You have to buy those proof sets when you are physically, live, and in-person, looking at them. Dont just go aver to APMEX (or another internet site) and buy a set and "hope for the best", as they will have already been cherry picked.
What method did you use to restore it?
What a lick Ben! Super duper extra nice!
Hey I wanted to ask your opinion on some thing if you wouldn’t mind weighing in. So over the course of the past several months I purchased a 1953 proof set in one of those heavy plastic holders as well as a 55 56 57 two 58’s two 59’s and a 61 proof set ….all in flat packs. I know if I submitted them for certification and got really good grades on them they could be much much more valuable than if I left them as is. Do you recommend breaking those out and submitting them to be verified if they look ….as far as I can tell….to be really really good? Or perhaps since I have 2 58’s and two 59’s maybe breaking those extras and submitting those? Anyway I was just curious. I’ve never submitted coins for grading before and I’m trying to pick some to submit for the first time. Thanks, Nick
IT's really hard to know what to do without actully seeing the coins. I've had a number of sets that are really nice, but it's hard to get good grades on those coins.
@@TheCoinGeek Understood. I’m going to except that there is a learning curve when it comes to sending in coins….and I’m going to put together several coins to send in for my first submission. I know I’ll be wrong on some and correct on others…..so I’ll cross my fingers that I figure it out before my mistakes become overly expensive lol. I realize there’s a decent amount of subjectivity with the graders as well. I’m just trying to find the best possible outcome because I don’t want to send in a bunch of coins for my first submission and have them all come back crap and discourage me from ever trying it again! I appreciate your input….thanks man. 👍🏼🙂
I just picked up a 56 from my lcs, the envelope is still sealed I'm debating whether to open or not, lol
nicely done, thats quite a ROI i think the NGC holders diminish the value, why ngc? if you get the same grades with PCGS then you've really got something.
not really on these, they go for roughly the same amount. A lot of proof franklins are sent to NGC because you can get cameo star
Jackpot.
ive got a 1963 benji with 4 fethers to the left of the eagals foot ?!?!?!
My 56 is. Proof 68
Wing tips
Can we do this kind of conversation on proof coins at home without getting it details grade
Yes. You can also damage a coin at home. If you're going to do it, do it right.
@@jamesdarnell8568 how to do it right ?
@@ss-mp8zu Watch Daniel’s CZcams video on dipping coins on Coin-Help-U. Use E Z est. Wear latex or nitrile gloves. Dip for only ten seconds. Immediately rinse under running, filtered water, gently rubbing until you feel the “grease” is gone and there is a little resistance. Pat dry with a soft cloth. Only do this to MS or Proof uncirculated coins. Never dip a circulated coin. This will remove some unsightly toning but not all of the tone. The coin will likely still pass through NGC or PCGS grading without a problem, but there are no guarantees. Only dip uncirculated coins, only dip ten seconds, only dip once. Watch the video.
@@jamesdarnell8568 thanks
Nice Proof Franklins!
Boy, NGC has loosened up on awarding UC designations. I've got CAM Franklins that look better than that but I took years shopping for them.
Agreed, awhile ago those all would have been 67 CAM.

Super eye appeal. Whoever gave youva thumbs down for this video must be dating Pelosi. Love the coins ben.
