  Wonderful toning on Ben's ugly mug-- it almost makes the design acceptable!

  Nice toning, especially for the date. You normally see the coins from '57 and '58 with the $2,500 toning.

  Greg, that Franklin is the ugliest thing I have seen, and I insist that you sell this dreadful eyesore to me!

  Lucy, I wouldn't dream of making you take this eyesore off my hands. It wouldn't be fair to you. You'd be forced to look at it.
  
  However, I am going to sell it. I've been planning on putting it on eBay for quite some time.

  Beautiful coin Greg and as Tom pointed out- unusual to find terrific, colorful toning (not the typical washed out gray/gold) for the date. You should just cut out the middleman here though (eBay) and go straight to the new owner: Lucy!
  
  Either way, she'd probably end up with this coin.

  Does that mean it has a $2500 price tag now?

  I didn't intend this to be a "for sale". I've just been lining up my next batch of coins for auction on eBay and I ran into this coin and figured it would be one of the next to go.
  
  The price tag on this coin isn't even close to $2500. I'd let it go for a tiny fraction of that price.
  
  If Lucy (or any other forum member) is interested or wants a detailed description of the coin, post here or PM me.
  
  BTW, the image was done by fellow board member 'tonekiller' aka Bryan at Texas Bullion Traders. Thanks again Bryan!

  Very pretty piece that could certainly be MS66 material - Greg - are you going to sell this raw or are you going to get it entombed first?
