Pretty cool TrueView image.........................

I think it's so cool when sometimes we find others that share our love for a certain niche and something like this transpires. That Coin Karma thing.
I said in a group message the other day that Steve is a part of, after I saw you posted the image and part of the story, while waiting for Saturday's mail;
"Damn, I love this place! That's pretty cool ....
And I hear Steve sold a monster DCAM Frankie to a Board Member obsessed with monster DCAM's.
Based on everything I think I know, that coin just seems to BELONG with you.
Looks like a fantastic piece!

That is a beauty. You must be pretty happy to have it in your collection.

That’s really a great one. The only set I’ve actually completed (or really tried to) is proof Franklins. Love it!
Nice.
I said this before, I wish they'd resume the Franklin halves and switch JFK to the $100.
2027 is the opportunity.
For multiple reasons (some obscure) I do like frosty proof Franklins.
Attractiveness - They can have off the charts eye appeal (the contrast between fields and device, whether toned or untoned).
Nostalgia - I remember my dad ordering proof sets from the mint in the early 1960's and seeing proof Franklins (with me seeing Franklins in daily commerce)
Still cherrypickable - Minted from 1950-1963 (14 years) in mintages of just over 50,000 (1950) to over 3,000,000 (1961, 1962 and 1963), even today (63 years after the last Proof Franklin was made in 1963) there are still large numbers of raw proof Franklins still present in the hands of non collectors, collectors and dealers (including some that have never been searched through). Thus there is still the opportunity for some to search for and find raw proof Franklins that have the qualities that Winesteven's 1961 PF68DCAM CAC has.
Here are a couple I just picked up for my newly started OGH collection.
That is a beauty, congrats!
Nice that it stayed in the 'family'.

I'm not sure they should put JFK on a federal reserve note
Haha, maybe bring back Silver Certificates?
I'd take a @winesteven castoff any day!

That's a beauty of a coin!

Nothing less to be expected coming from @winesteven collection. He has some remarkable coins

I never thought that this thread would be so widely viewed and responded to in the manner that it has.
My thanks to all who have read and Liked this thread.
The number should be much lower but there isn't a Love button to click, so it has to be only a Like. Sorry
