These are all nice pieces. I want more!!!
Frank, know where I can find a nice color 54D that would fit in my set?

I have a lot of pretty pieces, but image challenged.

Wayne, sweet coin, how much?

Russ, is that a proof? If a Business Strike, it's sweet, has the look?

Wheres Lucy????

Some of my favorite Frankies are the raw GEMs that I have been cherry picking from various stores all on the West Coast.... I have already made 3 DCAMs.... Here is a 56 that I paid 14 dollars for.... This one I have going just CAM, but a strong one. This coin has deep mirrors and a nice black and white contrast... With some lucy, maybe...maybe, a DCAM will happen.....

LucyBop · February 13, 2003 8:58AM

Here is another Stunner that a dealer duped me into paying 9 dollars for......

These mirrors are so deep I can use them for putting on my makeup! HepKitty approved.

LucyBop · February 13, 2003 9:01AM

The Reverse of my stunning 57d MS66FBL.

The toning is nicer then this crummy picture, I really am terrible at this.

IrishMike · February 13, 2003 9:01AM

LucyBop · February 13, 2003 9:04AM

The Obverse of my 1949s MS66FBL....

ANACONDA · February 13, 2003 9:04AM

I like that one.

ANACONDA · February 13, 2003 9:06AM

You may have seen this one...

LucyBop · February 13, 2003 9:07AM

Another from the HepKitty collection... My 1948 MS66FBL....

LucyBop · February 13, 2003 9:11AM

Another from the HepKitty collection. My 52p ms66fbl... the coin is a lusturous beauty, the niks you see are on the holder....

LucyBop · February 13, 2003 9:16AM

My 50p MS66FBL, another treasure from the HepKitty collection..

braddick · February 13, 2003 9:24AM

Scary pretty! ALL of them!

ANACONDA- I've never even heard of a colorful 1960's Franklin, let alone see one!

Nice catch.
And Lucy! You must own some of the prettiest Franklins around. It's no wonder you love this series.

IrishMike: Neat coin. Is that one yours?

ClausUrch · February 13, 2003 9:29AM

Stop it, HepKitty!!! You are making me dizzy with all these superb Frankie posts!
I have no choice other than to post this stunning beauty once again....

LucyBop · February 13, 2003 9:34AM

My Frosty 54 Proof Frankie

This is a very nice GEM!

LucyBop · February 13, 2003 9:38AM

My stunning homemade 56!!!! Found this GEM in a Proof set.....

Very very DEEP MIRRORS, notice, I am wearing a blue shirt!!! This one is a jaw dropper!

clevegreg · February 13, 2003 9:40AM

My personal favorite, well at least the favorite of the Frankies I OWN

FC57Coins · February 13, 2003 9:51AM

The 50D is a really great MS65FBL - beautiful light golden tone over brilliant fields - a really "pretty" coin. Here are a couple of other favorites...

And here's something you don't see very often - a bright - almost PL 1953P

ClausUrch · February 13, 2003 9:52AM

That does it!!! HepKitty or no...the gloves are now OFF!!!
I have no choice but to post this gem!!!!

FC57Coins · February 13, 2003 9:54AM

Claus - What grade is your 1948? Looks almost like a presentation piece!!!

IrishMike · February 13, 2003 9:56AM

Alas Braddick tis not mine. It sold at a Superior auction, unfortunately all I accomplished was to push the bid up for the eventual winner.

ClausUrch · February 13, 2003 9:56AM

It's called "Margarita Coaster" 69

LucyBop · February 13, 2003 9:58AM

Love those Margarita coasters.....!!!! I am getting a little tipsy again... how did you know?

FC57Coins · February 13, 2003 9:58AM

Touche Baron

so much for trying to grade from pictures LOL

FC57Coins · February 13, 2003 10:12AM

This is for Lucille - the toughest run of 65FBL's in the series:

oldcameoproofsguy · February 13, 2003 2:16PM

How could I have missed this thread?
I never get tired of posting this one, a 49-S PCGS MS66FBL Brilliant PL.

This is one of my favorites also, a 48-P PCGS MS66FBL brilliant with the slightest hint of a rainbow hue.

This one is a tough NGC date, 1952-D MS66FBL

MadMonk · February 13, 2003 9:44PM

This was so much fun. You all have just amazing Franklins. Alas My better half is pregnant with our first, so I don't know how that will affect my collecting. But, without a doubt, this inspires me
to get some more beauties for the collection.
My thanks to all of you for participating.
