When I saw it at Foodude's table I thought it looked a lot like Sy's 1960-P including the lines and I always thought that coin was amazing but I initially passed on the coin as I didn't have a specific buyer in mind. In speaking with TonedRarities I mentioned the coin and he wanted it so I was able to text Greg and tell him to hold the coin since I was coming back saturday....needless to say all parties concenred were very happy and Greg proved once again to be a top shelf dealer and friend. Thanks buddy

MadMonk · January 9, 2011 10:05PM

Solid! Excellent End Roller.

bushmaster8 · January 9, 2011 10:29PM

I wonder how it found it's way back to Foodudes' table?

I was under the impression that the entire Woodbury set was sold to a west coast dealer a few yrs. ago.

Maybe Foo had upgraded to a FBL 60-P before that sale and he wisely held this 60-P back?

Thank you very much again Shane. I'm glad Greg didn't sell it before you texted him.

Here is some history on that coin ... I bought this endroller from Steve Leber in the '90's in an MS65 holder, and it was one of my favorite Franklins (I have a few other cool toned Franklins to replace it in my personal collection). At one time I had one of the top 5 non-FBL Franklin sets, and this was one of the coins in that set, hence the pedigree. It is a very pretty coin, which I sent back to PCGS for photos. And this coin almost ended up in a Regency holder, but I decided to just have them put it back in a regular holder. If I had put it in a Regency holder, I would not have had them redo it years later for the current pedigree. BYW, as I know comes up frequently with Franklin collectors- what happened to Steve Leber. He passed away about 3 years ago.

I'm done with Morgans, patterns, and now onto franklins

bushmaster8 · January 10, 2011 8:06AM

Those white Franklins looking better everyday, huh, Pawpaul?

foodude · January 10, 2011 8:17AM

Yes, he had some amazing pieces he keep in the old charcoal NGC slab box in the back.

I remember when I showed him the '54 from my set click on image for the '54 he about had a cow ... that coin walked up to the table and I was able to snag it before Steve (who was also set up at the show) saw it. The obverse is amazing! The back is just an MS66FBL.

edited to fix link

foodude · January 10, 2011 8:28AM

I see a few of my former coins in the current and all time #5 set- Sourdough's Cache.

........He's in a buying frenzy , I'll give you that !

..and his pockets are much deeper then mine

but I have the knowledge , wisdom , and tenure that he has yet to gather ;

.most of what he's buying I would pass on - but a couple of 'um .......... well ......., he kicked me square in the jewel's !

PawPaul · January 10, 2011 9:56AM

Foo -

was there a Woodbury set that got sold and you are now currently building a new one ??

foodude · January 10, 2011 10:35AM

Paul, I am not currently building another set for myself, but do have a few cool toners in my personal collection. Of course they are all '58-Ds- LOL I'd show them to you but, you may have a heart attack if you saw them

I'm sure if you saw my SDB's you would say otherwise

Loupe · January 10, 2011 1:19PM

PawPaul · January 12, 2011 10:43AM

no doubt your SDB's a chock full of 100$ bills , and I'm pretty sure you got the great big ,giant size boxes !

remember that Chinese feller that mentioned about riding with dogs and breaking in saddles ?

Sometimes it's wise to let the horse rest as you walk slowly beside -

My money is on PP. I have seen him in action for 20 yrs, and there are not too many people, alive, or dead, who can match him in Franklin Experience and Expertise.
