Check it out Check it out

One of my local coin dealers called me today and told me I had to check out some toned coin they picked up today ( I buy most of my toned from them )

Its a 1954 unc Beauty Album toned i hope to god you can see the tone. The majority of the color is the aswsome magenta blue red to a very light orange. Also as you can see there is also nice rim toning on thee obv . Mostly magenta and orangish.


hahahah i hope lucybop drooollllllssssssss over this one no its not a proof but just a beautiful.

This coin is in my posession. I see that the pic show the magenta and then to a yellow brown color. Thats not how it goes it is a very subtile gradient from magenta to blue, red, to light orange. THis is the first toned franklin i have seen . and as far as full bell lines idont know il post a pic of the obv so you can see.

  • If you don't want it tell your dealer friend I'll consider it :-)
  • Nice catch Byron - and a good year - per chance does it have Full Bell Lines? - Either way - really nice!!!!

  • Byron:

    The piece looks very nice - looks to be a high end 64 to me, unfortunately it doesn't look like the bell lines will make it. Not unusual for this date I'm afraid. 53P was horrible, and 54P just a hair better. The bell lines didn't start getting better definition again till 55-59, and then the master die was re-worked and the bell lines faultered after that. Very pretty coin!

    I don't think this one goes FBL, but none the less it is a nice piece with some lovely toning........ I have several that I know are not FBL, but I fell in love with the coin anyways............. Please provide a good loving home for this Frankie!!!

  • I am going to say no way on FBL, too many marks cutting them right in two. Also the bottom lines appear to be broken. I like the coin very much, and it would fit right nice in my collection!
