This first coin I bought from a dealer in Illinois. It is the key date to the Franklin set--a 1949 S in MS 65 gem and, although it is not FBL, I love its luster, clean surfaces and Brilliant appearance... yes it's more of a @ricko coin, although there is some light golden toning around the rims. It will join my 1958 Franklin toner in my PCGS Franklin set. I Paid $120 for it, which I thought was a fair price, when compared to what I see is available on eBay.
This next coin will be added to my PCGS OGH Morgan date set. It is a gorgeous, original toned rose and blue 1898 0 in ms-64 and in an old green holder. At $100, I definitely paid a premium for it but I thought it was worth it given the color, originality and surface preservation. It matches the look of my PCGS 1887 S in ms63. I'm sorry but I cannot fully and effectively capture the color.
Enjoy...and thoughts and comments are always welcome.

Very nice Franklin.... Cheers, RickO
Both look nice. 49 Franklin's are special coins.
I'm fond of the 1949 date, my birth year.
Very nice !!!
Isn't it frustrating when you have a nice toner and the camera doesn't "see" what your eyes see?
Nice.
Hoard the keys.
