Does Anyone Here Own Either Of These Proof-Like Franklins?

These PL Franklins were in a 2004 Heritage auction of "The William Paul Proof-Like Collection". I haven't seen them for sale anywhere since the auction so I assume they may be in strong hands. I'd love to see the '54-S but the one I'm most interested in is the 1959 NGC MS66*. Of the few 1959 PLs that I've seen all were type 2, struck from proof dies. This one is the class III DDR type 2/type 1 and is probably one of the first strikes from the die pair. BTW, there were some amazing PL coins in that auction so take a look if you get a chance.

Feel free to post any Frankies to this thread!

    Not sure about the images, given how much they are blown up, but if they are that nice they may now reside in PCGS holders as they typically sell for more.

    Doe's PCGS now give the PL designation to Franklins?

    I don't think they do but I wish they would.
