Opinion on 48 D Franklin --- it's mine now thanks to Bushmaster- update in hand now

halfnut

Come across this 48 D franklin and it fits in my set --- fire away. I like the reverse.

Will it showed up today and the coin's color is much nicer then the pic show's --- nice green color. This coins fit's my set just fine. 9 more to go to finish this set.

Strong reverse - I like it.

It might be the picture, but I've never been a fan of modeled toning like this. This is the type of coin that I would avoid because of eye appeal issues.

I like it. In fact, I used to own it! It has nice green color in hand, which is always desireable.

Not my cup of tea but not a bad coin.

I will bet it looks great under a bright light

Will after the " Bushmaster8" endorsement it's now mine. I think the price was right but with sky is falling crowd out there I sure the price was high.

See here.

So you haven't seen it in hand yet Dan? I warn you, though the toning is unique, it has about the largest obv gashes I have ever seen on an MS65 coin.

looks like algae was growing on it!

Nice coin, saw it on TT but (no offense) ugly splotchy toning that looks to be hiding some marks. And the slab looks like it's been kicking around from dealer to dealer for a while.

the reverse looks fine..i am just not crazy about the obverse, in my opinion doesnt look very attractive, again, just an opinion

SkyMan

The look is not really my cup of tea, HOWEVER,

That's kind of what I was looking at. Green is ALWAYS a tougher color on Franklins (barring D mints from 1957-8)... so a nice pickup for the date/mm.

I think Bushmaster barfed on it.

I remember seeing this coin for sale a while back on ebay I believe.

Cheezhed I like your's. thanks for the feedback both for and against. I like my Franklins with original skin and this has that.

Well if Bushmaster owned it, it must be a Franklin or an Ike

Ah, the year I was born. It brings back memories. It's in far better shape than I am.
Really though, it's very nice I like it.

I need them both for my birth year mint set.

I love green toning on Franklin Halfs.
