Beauty of a type Frankie

FC57Coins

For a year that's not known for very nice coloration, here's a beauty that I couldn't resist at tonite's local coin auction - paid a something above what you'd normally pay for a 1952P - but seldom does this date have a combination of a good strike and pleasing colors. The reverse has a little bit of speckling - but nothing to detract from the very nice obverse - enjoy!

We need better resolution Scotty. Jack up the image KB size, or supermacro that sucker.

Too up close wasn't getting the right color on the coin. I'll try getting a larger pic tomorrow - was just happy to get this one and wanted to show it

I love Franklin half dollars! When I was a kid, and just getting into coins, my ultimate goal was to get one! I'd like to see a close up of that one too.

I can't tell too much about the color from the photo, but I like the pattern.
52P is a pretty tough year for nice colorful toning.
Looks like a nice find.
Here is one of mine. A lousy picture, but an example that you don't see too often.
Rusty orange with some blue, and killer chrome like luster.

I'll take a better pic of the coin tonite

I have probably handled about (10) 52 mint sets over the past 15 years.
None of them had a coin that I would get emotionally attached to.
Yours is probably nicer looking than any I've seen for a very long time.

I looked at that coin in hand and trust me, that picture does NOT show the colors and underlying luster. It is an awesome 1952-P.

BTW Frank.............YOU SUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!
