My first newp for 2026

With silver on the rise, I figured that I should buy this gem, especially, since it has full bell lines and is in an OBH. I got it for $55 below retail. I think Franklins are currently undervalued. This is only my third Franklin, but I intend to put a complete set together, eventually.

Sometimes, it’s better to be LUCKY than good. 🍀 🍺👍

    Those are very nice!

    My strategy is to buy FBL, for the issues that don’t have an enormous premium for them and to try to stay in the MS 65 to 66 range.

    I really like Franklins and I think it's a good set to collect because it can be completed easily for a (relatively) reasonable price. I've already got three full sets (circulated whitman, AU/BU dansco, and MS64 or better slabbed). I'm also a handful of coins away from completing a FBL set, but the 53-S is near impossible and will have to wait
