    maybe it looks better in hand, but I don't like the look of that one.

    Cataloging error, no doubt.
  • looks like its got some type of colored dirt on it.

    Looks like an NGC holder to me, but I'm new to this...

    those lines just don't look like full uninterrupted lines to me.

  • I'll bet this Frankie goes for well into five figures.

    Darned things are gettin' expensive. Makes me wonder if this 51-S has a supercarcoins pedigree --

    Ouch. Thought we found and changed all of those. It should show up as an NGC-graded coin within a day or so.

    Thanks for pointing this out!

  • ........This coin will not "go" .....the reserve has been too high for the past two years for it to sell ; I don`t know if Tomaska still own`s it .

    It will be intresting as to how long Heritage will take to correct the fact that it`s a NGC coin .

    I see in upcomming Superior sale is a PCGS MS67 52-S Franklin ......I was the lone bidder @ 1800 $

    when it was in an NGC holder on ebay a couple months back .

    I'm impressed that Heritage has people that watch/monitor the message boards for problems, concerns and areas for improvement. I have been a Heritage customer for only a short time, but this post really impressed me. Thanks Stewart for taking the time to listen to problems/concerns and correcting them.

  • Hi Stewart,

    Just so you guys know, (for future auction listings), it is a very well kept secret that there were no Franklins minted at San Fran in 1948. (Psssst...check the catalog descriptions on the 1948 mint sets.image

    Thing's sittin' at 14 grand ???
    Guess I will stop tracking it now...
  • personally, I like it.

    Heavily toned coins like that are very subjective. Whether you like it or not is just you... but then again that applies to most aspects of coin collecting

    it is listed as a ngc coin now. however from the pics it looks fugly to me. i have a feeling that it might look a little better in hand though
