Anyone else notice how circulated Franklin halves seem to have a really dull finish? Look at a similarly circulated 64 Kennedy or even a Walker and they seem to still have a nice shiny luster to it. Is this from the way they were struck or finished? Or am I imagining things?

Yes.I think they look more white than silver color

I never really paid much attention to that. It could be how the dies are prepared, but thats just a guess.
