oops, this is the reverse of the 48-D 66FBL 
These two of the 58D 66fbl were some of the first attempted.
Then we went to a timed shutter release so fat fingers wouldnt shake the camera.
Here are some more:
Another one (63D) from initial attempts. Blurry..The coin actually has a green thing going on in the Obverse center.
Today's mighty oak is just yesterday's nut that held its ground.

<< <i>Looks like your getting that camera thing down. Bob >>
No! My wife is starting to get the camera thing down....she's the genius in the family
Actually, I havent had time...busy as all get out. The pics still don't really do the coins any justice.
I'm going to search the forums later for some good tips.

I've had this thread bookmarked for years, probably as good a place to start as any.

EDITED TO ADD: The top one.

The toning shown on the other coins in the pictures look less attractive to me. However, I bet in hand and under good lighting the toning on these other coins look great.
Very nice coins.
If I had the money I'd buy them all!

Thankyou, You have to believe me that these are all much nicer in hand.
How many folks use more than one light source? I'm thinking about buying another lamp.
The only two that I want to send in for review are the 52-S coins. Thee lines are there, just have to see if PCGS thinks so, at that moment, on that day, in that state of mind, after eating Pizza and drinking a coke. I havent had time to send them in. Too busy at work and home.
take the time to send them ..........you only live once !
Heck you have mine either way nice stuff.
We have to stick together you know.......
Can't get enough Frankies.......
Have you had your Frankies today?
Great coins, I like them.

I have had some much going on the past years, that I could barely take time for anything.
The 48D, 49S orange rimmed, and 55 rainbow are all sold. Fairly long time ago. All buyers were very happy.
oh, the 48P might be gone too. Also the bright orange 58D. You're gonna poop when you see what I have left, and that is my 2nd tier stuff.
Show me some pretty Frankies!

Madmonk! Nice to see you. I remember this thread. Here's a 49D 65FBL I used to own.
My icon IS my coin. It is a gem 1949 FBL Franklin.

<< <i>Dang, Jcarney, that is a sweet 49-D! The 57 and 49 ain't too shabby either. That 57 has that look some 57s have. The Basining is nice, and pops beautifully. >>
Unfortunately, the 49d is long gone. The 49 is really nice with a creamy luster that I believe has never been dipped. You probably know how tough this date/mm is in gem brilliant.
