Franklin Half Dollar Grading Scale & Guidelines: In accordance with the established condition notes and guidelines, an "About Uncirculated" Franklin Half Dollar exhibits noticeable wear on both the obverse and reverse, primarily on the high points of the design. The cheek area just below the eye may display minor wear, dullness, or smoothing on the surface. On the obverse, the removal of luster becomes evident with wear, although some roundness may still be present. Minor wear can be observed on Franklin's chin, as it is one of the first areas to show signs of wear. Detail may still remain in Franklin's hair, adding to the overall appeal. Flipping to the reverse, the lettering within the center of the Liberty Bell may exhibit traces of wear, while the straps to the beam appear dull and smoothed, as do the edges of the beam. Often, evidence of wear becomes detectable along the lower rim of the Liberty Bell.
