My father was a long time banker and when he learned the mint planned to phase out silver coins he latched on to some silver halves. What I am selling here is 5 rolls of 20 1963 Franklin Half Dollars, a total of 100 coins. Since some of the coins at the ends of the rolls showed silver tarnish, I opened a few of the rolls to verify the rest appeared to be uncirculated, and that's what they look like to me (a non-collector). Each lot of 5 rolls will include 4 which are still sealed in the tubes labeled "Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis" and one which I partially opened to verify the condition of the coins.
Though I am an experienced photographer, I've never done any coin photography before. The attached photos were taken with a high resolution DSLR and very sharp lens and seem to show flaws to a greater degree than I see even under a magnifier. None of the coins I checked showed any signs of having been in circulation. They have no mint mark, so I assume they came from the Philadelphia mint. I don't know if the tarnishing seen on the end coins affect their value or not, but you can see an example of what I mean in photo 3. The reserve price I set was the silver value of the coins as of the time I started the auction. I'm guessing they are worth more to collectors given their condition and that they are in Federal Reserve packaging. We found 25 of these rolls and I started 5 auctions of 5 rolls each. As near as I can figure from our UPS program at the office, it will cost about $25.00 to ship UPS ground, fully insured, so I'll set that as the shipping cost.
