    I don't think it's gonna be much of a flame-fest. Afterall, if the Frankie lovers' arguments are as weak as the strike on your average Frankie it won't be much of a challenge for those of us that prefer real coins.

    How can you even tell a Frankie from a slug? They have about as much detail as a mud puddle on a windless day.

    I don't even know why they let Frankie have a coin. After all, he thought a TURKEY should be the national bird.

    Boring !! A significant let down from it's predecessor...the beautiful and classic Walking Liberty. Plain and mundane. There are conditional rarities for those "registry inclined", but other than that...nothing to take your breath away.

    What's the difference between a Frankie and an onion?

    and that eagle on the reverse!!!!! What a proud looking (although diminutive) piece of poultry we have there..... Glad to see my nations symbol so prominently placed and masterfully rendered on one of our countrys largest circulating coins at that time!!!!! I remember when I saw my first "Frankie"... well, at least I have something to talk about in THERAPY !!!!!!!

    I think "Frankies" were originally meant to be fender washers, but someone forgot to drill the holes in the middle....... another mint error not discovered until 40 years down the road !

    The President claims he didn't lie about taxes for those earning less then $250,000 a year with public mandated health insurance yet his own justice department has said they will use the right of the government to tax when the states appeals go to court.

    That is why they switched to a dead president. They did not want to dishonor him by clading him in nickel
