Yep he missed out on the upgrade (although it took the next person double digit attempts to get it).
Nice to have some true believers in the hobby.
For those that haven't clicked through yet, the video on Instagram is nice.
I went back up and checked the video, I skipped it the first go around. You're right, that's a beautiful Franklin.

I've videoed that coin on my Instagram page too, back in 2018 and on the most recent go around. The most recent video is only a few posts down if you want to see it (click on the Instagram link in my sig line).
@wondercoin: that Lincoln definitely is a wondercoin!
I obviously don't understand the BN vs RB distinction, but it is surprising that bright and colorfully toned copper coins would be considered BN.
Higashiyama- Now that is certainly a fair and reasonable question for another thread!
Thank you for you comment on the coin. My daughter selected and submitted it around (25) years after I started putting away lovely toners from the govt. Mint sets. You would be surprised how relatively easy it was (compared to today) to find these coins at a major show (like Long Beach) in the late 1980s when the craze was CC dollars, MS65 Walkers and Morgans, etc. All you needed to do was to take a Thursday off work and spend the day hitting mostly the “typical dealers” stock usually not at the “center stage” tables.

I agree with you about the ease of finding high color coins at shows and on the internet. I found most of my color Buffs and color type coins in the eighties, nineties, and early 2000's in dealer's inventory, in auctions, at shows, and on the internet. Color wasn't a "thing" back then and I paid little or no premium for it.

I found this one seven years ago online and paid no premium for it.
And I bought this one in 1986 from a local dealer. Again-no premium for the color.
Perhaps you just need to get Laura to sprinkle holy water on those. Perhaps with her neutron microscope.
If I could only get 18 million out of 'em they'd be on their way to her.
