I am looking at a very nice 1961 D Franklin half taken from a mint set years ago. The subject coin appears to be similar to the pictures in VV and DD. The following Die Markers are present on the Reverse: SSW/NNE die scratch to the right of the mint mark (Very faint and hard to see). A short die gouge SW from the left side of the mint mark. Small die gouge inside the lower 'N' of 'U N I T E D'. I can not find a die crack on the obverse on the bust and frankly can not find one on the pictures in VV (not mentioned in DD). I have attached a pic if someone can see one. Thoughts or comments?

I agree with sumdance.
I've added some arrows to your image to show what looks like the die crack at the bust.
(Very nice images BTW.)
