    1948 Franklin missing forehead ?

    Please examine these two pictures, I recently bought an UNC 1948 Franklin from a "Silver Junk Lot" sale and found the coin had this error. The seller asked to buy it back, but I declined.

    ANY IDEAs ? I really am in the dark here, I was told its "probably" mint error and I should send it in to NGC for evaluation.

    Thank you in advance for any advice or information you can offer me!

    The hairline seems unusually well-defined. I'm not sure why.

        If you look at Franklin half dollars in general you'll see the hair line, I can't explain what this coin is to any certain degree.

        If I can afford it, I'll send it in to NGC for evaluation. I could hardly afford just the Uncirculated coin let alone grading it too... (where is my lottery ticket
