I don't know why it is that I find these items so interesting!

Wow, looks like a very tough grading competition as the mean is 39 out of 112. Looking at the coins that would have been very challenging indeed, congrats to the top scores.

So between the refiner, who has to make a little profit, and the coin shop, who also has to make a little profit, you're likely to get hosed right now.

Hosed? That seems a tad harsh. If you're not going to refine them or even sell them to the refiner yourself, it doesn't seem outrageous to expect that the people doing those things will want to make something for the effort, as you noted. So- why would that be considered getting "hosed"?

Did you check on the internet before asking here?

I'm sorry my friend , I did not...... I was being sarcastic to try and increase my stars next to my # of post's

I have the upmost respect for 99.9% of the people on this forum, you can take that to the bank !

Even though you’re not the only one, posting in order to increase your star count doesn’t seem particularly respectful of 99.9% of the people on this forum.

I apologize my friend...... I don't understand why this form doesn't understand Laughter ? Doesn't anyone remember LAUGHTER ?

If you think anything in this thread is humourous, you are sadly mistaken. Stop with this harassing behavior.

I really like Franklins and I think it's a good set to collect because it can be completed easily for a (relatively) reasonable price. I've already got three full sets (circulated whitman, AU/BU dansco, and MS64 or better slabbed). I'm also a handful of coins away from completing a FBL set, but the 53-S is near impossible and will have to wait

a good price for 90% silver.
