nicely done! I always think about how simple coin collecting might have been when I see a Capital set like that
nice, there is more frost on the bells of the first 5 than the last 5 +++++++++++
Thank you for ringing in the New Year with the Franklin’s.
Gorgeous looking set!
That is a great set. Someday I hope to see it in person.
Takes a long time to assemble a set like that - especially these days.

Gorgeous! Nice to see a full run, carefully chosen.
Those Capital holders are perfect for larger coins like that. Very nice.

Very nice !!!
I like the '61.
The 60 is really nice. Nice set and presentation.
Can not beat any series displayed in Capitol Board. As I have always said, it sure beats dragging out a blue box to show someone your collection. Nice set.

Thanks for the props folks.
These 14 coins have been fun to assemble. All of them have frosted devices on both sides. The 1953 has fields that are shallow compared to the other 13 coins (which all have mirrored fields).
The 1951, 53, 54, 55, 58, 59 and 63 coins have light haze on them. Removing this haze will improve the appearance of these coins, showing the contrast between the mirrored fields and frosted devices better.
The 1951, 52, 53, 55, 58, 59 and 60 coins have no toning on them.
The 1950 coin has multi colored rim toning on the obverse. Under lighting that shows the frosted devices, mirrored fields and multi colored rim toning this coin has fantastic eye appeal.
The 1954, 56, 57, 61, 62 and 63 coins all have light toning (mostly along the rims) that is golden, orange and brown. This light toning does have positive eye appeal.
For this set of 14 coins I am looking to find replacements for those dated 1951, 52, 53, 55, 58, 59 and 60. I would like to find replacements that have eye appealing rim toning, frosted devices and mirrored fields. If I can find suitable replacements for these 7 coins I would have a matching set that would be very attractive.
The only thing I would like to see with this set of coins is better photographs of same.
way cool, that's a nice one
That 1960 is stunning....best of that gorgeous set.

Great looking set and awesome way to display them.
It's been a treat since you have recently started to post pics of your collection.

Wow- that took some time to put together for sure. That's what coin collecting is all about!
This 14 coin set in a white holder has a sibling. The sibling is another set in a black holder. The coins in the black holder are untoned.
Sort of an Ebony And Ivory thing, OCD style
I will post a photo of the sibling set later tonight.
Looks like a job for Todd (BlueCC) photography!
Here is Ebony.

Very nice!
