I’m close to being finished with the set. I usually buy two or three coins per year.

    Whoa. Very nice. I sold a 48 Franklin with a few lower bell hits and obverse chatter for a couple hundred dollars last year. It's one of the coins I truly miss. But hey, I'm grateful the money was there for us.

    That's so beautiful. I didn't think 48's got much further beyond, that's just stunning. Hard year to get that looks like that.

    Keep up the good work I hope to see the final product...!!! <3

    Yeah that's FBL all day long. Some of the FBL you see graded today seems really generous on that designation. I'd be looking for older FBL holders if I was doing a masterpiece like OP.

    It was sold as FBL, yes.. I’m very happy with it! It’s been such a fun set to build— most of them I got at the Santa Clara coin show raw. It’s fun to tell myself: you need a ‘59 Franklin, your budget is $40.. go! And hit the floor looking for one. It’s pure collecting joy for me.
