Do you think this Frankie is ugly?


1961 PR65 50c pcgs obverse

1961 PR65 50c pcgs reverse

I know somebody that does, but I think she is gorgeous.

    Yep, what Ken said: All Franklins are ugly. It pains me just to have one for a type set.

    I like Franklins, but this one does nothing for me. I would pass if it were for me.

    It's not ugly, but I think a collector of toned coins would look for something with more colors, patterns. I have some "all purple" proof washingtons but I'd rather have true rainbows. cheers, alan mendelson

    One man’s or lady’s “monster toning” is another man’s or lady’s tarnish or even corrosion. I don’t care for this coin at all. It looks like it was stored in moist environment, and so far I’m concerned it has gone beyond tarnished to damaged.

    I think this proves that no all toning is attractive.

    If I had to judge totally from the image, it doesnt suit my taste.

    I don't hate it. It is somewhat attractive to me. Dull for a proof, though. I wouldn't call it ugly, and I wouldn't call it gorgeous. I'd call it OK.

    Gee Morris, I hope these reviews don't kill it's value. Were you going to sell it?? cheers, alan mendelson
