If you don't want the cent I know where you can send it!

TomB · December 6, 2002 12:18PM

I figured you were going to write that you bought one that was cleverly disguised as a 1964 proof Kennedy.

Hellllllooooooooooooooooo HepKitty!

Russ,
It's a slippery slope. What happened to Walker habit?

Russ · December 6, 2002 12:30PM

Blade,

Walkers are coming along nicely. See my sig for today's arrival.

I bought the '55 proof set only because it's my birth year.

Russ, NCNE

Born in 55, huh? Ironically, my birth year is 1964, what a cool year for half dollar varieties, eh?

What a outrage!!!!!! Your behavior is in-excusable and intolerable! Stick with the hairy guy please!

This better not be the beggining of a trend.........................!

mbbiker · December 6, 2002 1:37PM

only an hour and 29 min.

LucyBop · December 6, 2002 1:48PM

I was at the GameWorks bar and grill at the Mills Mall in Phoenix having a Margarita. (Of Course.) I can't take my eye off this forum for a minute because right away the boys run-off and buy things they shouldn't!

mbbiker · December 6, 2002 1:51PM

I didn't buy any frankies (i'm trying to be on my best behavior)

FC57Coins · December 6, 2002 11:51PM

So like - where's the pic of the proof set?

KlectorKid · December 7, 2002 1:17AM

I concur with the smokin lil' Pug

Russ · December 7, 2002 2:26AM

Can't really tell much from the picture. They look pretty average. Didn't really care too much about high grade as it's just one of those "fun" purchases - like my '55 Bugs Bunny.

PS:

Oh yeah, I just bought a '62 and '63 Frankie also.

Russ,
Hard to tell from the picture but it looks like your '55 Franklin might have some nice toning to it. (As you probably know, these guys don't generally tone nicely at all). I've always liked this series and every once in a while I find one to upgrade my set with.

JLW,

Now that you mention it, it does look toned. Maybe it'll be a monster and I can get rich!

Russ, NCNE

Admit it - your a closet Franklin Luver ain't ya!

Russ · December 7, 2002 3:18AM

Frank,

Actually, I grabbed that group of three sets because I think those envelopes are bogus.

Russ, NCNE

Russ
I have some raw ones.I asked Lucy if she would like to buy them,and she never answered.I guess she didn't want them.

LucyBop · December 7, 2002 11:27AM

No more Frankies for Russ! Otherwise the Kitty will bid on every Accented Hair that can be found on Ebay! Merz2, I ran for a quick 3 day trip to Phoenix and searched for Frankies... I am now back home...

Russie, I really do hope you find some Cam's in those sets! Good Luck!
