1953 Franklin Half Dollar

1953 Franklin Half Dollar minted in Philadelphia (no mint mark visible above the Liberty Bell on the reverse). Based on the images provided, which show moderate circulation wear, I’d grade it as Extremely Fine (EF-40) on the Sheldon scale.
Key Grading Observations:
• Obverse (Franklin’s portrait): There’s light wear on the high points, including the cheekbone, brow, and hairlines behind the ear and above the forehead. The hair strands are still distinct but slightly flattened, and the overall portrait retains good detail without excessive smoothing. Minor scratches and contact marks are present, consistent with light circulation.
• Reverse (Liberty Bell): The bell shows light abrasion on the upper beam, straps, and eagle’s feathers. The horizontal bell lines are visible but not fully sharp or separated (no Full Bell Lines designation applies here, as that’s reserved for Mint State coins). The lettering and eagle retain strong definition, with only minor flattening on the high.
