Nothing extra special here but I like doing these. Hopefully the pictures aren’t too lacking. Whether or not you get the FBL is excusable since the resolution might be lacking for a determination.







The longer I live the more convincing proofs I see of this truth, that God governs in the affairs of men. And if a sparrow cannot fall to the ground without His notice is it possible for an empire to rise without His aid? Benjamin Franklin

    Nice Franklins. I always liked the Franklin half dollar (not as much as the WLH though). He was certainly a great man in the history of our country. I do have a set - nothing special, just the date run. Cheers, RickO

    We very well may not have won the Revolutionary War without his efforts to raise funding and support for fighting it in Europe. Brilliant man and quite a character.

    Number 4 (the last coin) is tough to grade due to the photograph. The photograph appears to be blurry but the blurry appearance is actually a byproduct of an unusual pattern of toning. That coin is graded by NGC MS-64.

    Here are the grades:

    1948-D PCGS MS-64FBL
    1953-D PCGS MS-64FBL
    1954-D PCGS MS-65FBL

    And as mentioned the blurry 1949-S is NGC MS-64
