Here Are some quick iPhone shots under my halogen grading lamp.
I really like the old mint set toning.
@SkyMan I promised you I’d post a Franklin someday. I know this year is special to you.

Ben Franklin. What a guy ! They don’t make ‘em the way they used to.

Super!
Nice looking Frankie there! Be aware, they can be quite addictive.
U.S. Type Set
Nice looking coin!
I have the same date with neat two sided toning in a rattler holder.
If you like and enjoy your purchase, then you are focused on coin collecting. From what I see you are just broadening you horizon.
Enjoy, Donato

That coin has wonderful, original US Mint Set frost all over it. I like it very much.

Nice 1958.
Gentle mint set toning, just how I like to find them. Peachy! Thanks for sharing.

As a type guy, I always like seeing someone extend to "other" designs!
Much more fun that way, in my feeble little mind....
Nice 'un, too.
Nice !

Beautiful example- not a bad place to stray!
Straying from your focus is what you need some times. Nice Franklin...

Great looking Frankie, I'd say you strayed into a fertile field.
Nothing wrong with Franklins.... I have many of them.... Cheers, RickO
