Let the flaming begin

Looks like frankie bashing is the flame of choice

I think all of you frankie haters should just leave for the weekend so we can flame roast us up some nice flame broiled toned frankies without any outside bashing

I don't think it's gonna be much of a flame-fest. Afterall, if the Frankie lovers' arguments are as weak as the strike on your average Frankie it won't be much of a challenge for those of us that prefer real coins.

dddangerousdan · February 28, 2003 8:14AM

THEY ARE JUST AS REAL AS YOURS. THEY ARE THE SAME SIZE AND BOTH HAVE A DEAD GUY ON THEM.

How can you even tell a Frankie from a slug? They have about as much detail as a mud puddle on a windless day.

MadMarty · February 28, 2003 8:18AM

Kennedy's bake in potatos much better than Frankies. The Frankies only go good with beans!!

longtimecollector · February 28, 2003 8:18AM

Whats uglier? A "Frankie obverse", or an Ike obverse?

mbbiker · February 28, 2003 8:18AM

here's a frankie that's been flamed

ClarkOfKent · February 28, 2003 8:20AM

mbbiker,

PLEASE!!! I'd rather be stuck in the eye with a pointed stick!

MastaHanky · February 28, 2003 8:20AM

I don't even know why they let Frankie have a coin. After all, he thought a TURKEY should be the national bird.

paigowjohnny · February 28, 2003 8:23AM

Boring !! A significant let down from it's predecessor...the beautiful and classic Walking Liberty. Plain and mundane. There are conditional rarities for those "registry inclined", but other than that...nothing to take your breath away.

What's the difference between a Frankie and an onion?

Nobody ever cried when they chopped up a Frankie

ClarkOfKent · February 28, 2003 8:27AM

Outhaul,

That one deserves a round of applause!

paigowjohnny · February 28, 2003 8:31AM

<< Whats uglier? A "Frankie obverse", or an Ike obverse? >>

Now there's a conundrum

But we digress...save Ike for another time...we must feast on Frankie carnage !!!

Could you imagine a clad Frankie ???? <<shudder>>

dpoole · February 28, 2003 8:31AM

Ajaan likes Frankies. Enough said!

Outhaul · February 28, 2003 8:33AM

"Ugly Frankie" is redundant

longtimecollector · February 28, 2003 8:33AM

Its not like "Frankies" are worthless or anything...... They can ALWAYS be used as a BAD EXAMPLE of what a coin should look like !!!!!!!!!

paigowjohnny · February 28, 2003 8:35AM

And it's spilled over to the "I never met a Frankie I didn't like" thread.....

Oh the humanity.....

longtimecollector · February 28, 2003 8:37AM

and that eagle on the reverse!!!!! What a proud looking (although diminutive) piece of poultry we have there..... Glad to see my nations symbol so prominently placed and masterfully rendered on one of our countrys largest circulating coins at that time!!!!! I remember when I saw my first "Frankie"... well, at least I have something to talk about in THERAPY !!!!!!!

paigowjohnny · February 28, 2003 8:39AM

The eagle is overshadowded by the majestic lines on the bell....

longtimecollector · February 28, 2003 8:40AM

I think "Frankies" were originally meant to be fender washers, but someone forgot to drill the holes in the middle....... another mint error not discovered until 40 years down the road !

barberlover · February 28, 2003 8:48AM

You wouldn't have the guts to say these things if Lucybop was here right now !!! LOL

paigowjohnny · February 28, 2003 8:49AM

She's too busy fighting for Frankie's honor on the other thread....

paigowjohnny · February 28, 2003 8:50AM

<< I think "Frankies" were originally meant to be fender washers >>

The make a good shim for a wobbly table leg...especially in the nice contoured PCGS slab...

Baley · February 28, 2003 8:51AM

how are franklin halves like a butt?

both have a big crack on the back!

paigowjohnny · February 28, 2003 8:53AM

<< how are franklin halves like a butt? >>

Answer....they both look like a butt...

maddox · February 28, 2003 8:58AM

If Homer Simpson collected coins, you can bet "frankies" would be his 1st choice, cuz he's stupid

Outhaul · February 28, 2003 9:13AM

Frankies are uglier than a pan of fried a$$holes.

Nuff said?

MadMarty · February 28, 2003 9:19AM

Flaming Frankie!! Oh, Lucy forgive me...

dddangerousdan · February 28, 2003 9:21AM

That is why they switched to a dead president. They did not want to dishonor him by clading him in nickel

KlectorKid · February 28, 2003 9:21AM

You guys are just mad because JFK wasnt smart enough to go into a thunderstorm with a key attached to a kite and get electrocuted... wait... do I have that backwards?

ursabear · February 28, 2003 9:23AM

"Frankie my dear, I don't give a ..."

longtimecollector · February 28, 2003 9:24AM

In a 1959 interview with mint workers.. they said they could tell when a Frankie die was worn out....... The coins started to look like Alfred Hitchc**k !!!!!!

maddox · February 28, 2003 9:26AM

At least now, it's not painfull to look at.

longtimecollector · February 28, 2003 9:27AM

in an ACG slab marked "toned monster"?

longtimecollector · February 28, 2003 10:01AM

AN ODE TO FRANKIE.......

Good old Bennie......
loyal and true..........

Collected by many....
But loved by few.......

minted in quantity......
smaller in proof...........

most look shi**y.........
aw heck........ THEY ALL LOOK LIKE THAT !!!!!!!!!

ajaan · February 28, 2003 10:13AM

OK dpoodle, you've gone too far now. I hate to disappoint you, but I don't swing that way. It darkside only for me.

dddangerousdan · February 28, 2003 10:17AM

Then--------what are you doing here? Did you see the light

DAN

KlectorKid · February 28, 2003 10:18AM

Yeah, get the hell off my property!

MadMarty · February 28, 2003 10:19AM

Do Darkside collectors from the UK collect US coins???

SarasotaFrank · February 28, 2003 10:49AM

those of us with names akin to Bennie might be offended by this thread.

Let the flaming begin
