Someone named " Sourdough" has assembled an incredible Registry Set of Mint State Franklin's that is rivaled by few ........

Ranking #5 , the set is a sight to see, with most of the coins comming from R & I's hands . Many , many rainbows !

One that did not though is a fantastic 1959-D that in MS-66 FBL is the epitone of what collecting rainbow Franklin's is all about

#5 Ranked Set

    That is definitely a lovely set. Sourdough should be congratulated. I particularly like the 1953. Tough date to get in that technical grade with that toning. If I was going to be picky I'd like to see another shot of the '53-S... it's hard to see the FBL there and obviously that makes a HUGE difference. I also have questions as to the toning of the '54. However, as mentioned, it's a LOVELY set that Sourdough should be proud of.

    .....some of the coins are the most attractive for the date's I have ever laid eyes on ........... the '53 is impeccable

    The 49-D is out of this world , the 54-P was a plus $5000 coin I am sure ............ in fact

    to amass such a set as this one cost a bundle , you can not just go out and find coins of this caliber without forking over heavy, heavy money .

    I just love most of the coins to death , I would kill (insects) to obtain some of them image

    a few of them are no doubt destined for the new book

    I wonder who Sourdough really is , I'm pretty sure he dosn't make pancakes .

    Hands down some of the best Franklin's I ever seen ............. make's me want to murder (insects)

    did I mention how envious it makes me to look at them ? Killer coins , absolutely killer

    A few of those would certainly FBL with the other service, so I have respect for those graded FL, but there are other ones that would not, so it is very possible they are rated to high. Still, I have no where near these kind of grades in PCGS plastic, it would take pretty deep pockets to amass such a registry.

    The cost of that set, must be rather significant.

    The 58-D picture sure is juiced. Nice set! If I had a set like that I would get one of the forum expert photographers to get some nicer pictures so everyone could enjoy it better. image

    Some of the toners are nice but there are some real dogs in there too (53-s,52-d). Also how many of those would slab today?image

    Send 'em all to CAC. They will separate the manFranklins from the boyFranklins!
