Registry Set of the Complete Proof Franklin Varieties.

29 coins are in the set.

I have 17 of the 29 (including 4 of the 16 varieties) and need 12 coins to acquire to finish the set. Maybe an additional coin or two are sitting in my collection just waiting to be discovered.

    Sounds good.

    You might want to mention that "made" is defined as "I submitted a raw coin and it was slabbed",
    as opposed to say "I discovered a new variety" or "I manufactured a counterfeit".
    (Personally I feel the word "made" is too generic to be used for this purpose, but people do use it).

    Yosclimber.

    Good point.

    When I said MADE in the thread title I meant that a coin I submitted raw to our host for grading, straight graded (PF68) and was determined to by the 1956Type 2, DDR, FS-801 variety.

    That would be 1956 DDR-001, PR-1-R-II-C+VI, correct? I was shocked by how many detail photos are shown of this coin on Varietyvista. Was it a cherrypick?

    The half dollar was in a 1956 OGP proof set I bought at a local coin show. I would consider it a cherry-pick.
