I could make a birth year registry set out of pocket change.

    After seeing these on CoinFacts, I am now determined to find their owners and to learn whether they would be interested in selling.

    I'd attempt to locate them in one of the top Registries. There you may well find the rightful owner(s).

    I'd say # 2 is real and # 1 is AT.

    #1 - PCGS MS67FBL
    #2 - PCGS MS66

    Wow, the reverse on that first one is NUTS.

    Collector since 1976. On the CU forums here since 2001.

    I don't know....I think I'd be a little freaked out if someone randomly got in touch with me, and asked to buy my 1958 Franklin.

    Type the cert numbers into the PCGS verification page and they will tell you if the coins are in a Registry set. Some sets are marked as private and you will not be able to send the set owner a message, but other sets are marked as public and you can forward a message to the set owner. If the coins are in sets that are marked public simply send a message and inquire about their availability.

    There is a coin very similar to the second one on Collective Coin.

    I think coins that are only in a Showcase also come up as a "private set" even though you can still view it. Problem is, you don't know which showcase. image

    You wrote that you saw the images on CoinFacts and CoinFacts lists the cert number next to the image of the coin.

    Umm, I have to say that I agree with you.

    I have seen/owned several like coin #2, but never seen one with the look of coin #1.

    Cert #'s



    1-27925796

    2-29885193



    It says they are not in a registry if you believe the info is correct. No known auctions on those cert #'s. Next step would be to search HA.com and see if you can find the coin and then make offer to owner. Usually does not work but you can always try.

    Try Coppercolor here on the board. He may know the owner, or they might be his. Jeff has had monster Frankies.

    And I believe it was originally sold through heritage too, many years ago

    And I can see how someone could think that the 1st coin is AT, but I believe it's NT all the way. Just that perfect storm of conditions and plenty of time in a double mint set

    Great colors! Have seen several coins with the same look of #1 and own a few myself. Real deal.
    Some refer to overgraded slabs as Coffins. I like to think of them as Happy Coins.
