a 1962 DCAM Proof Frankie and a HepKitty giveaway!!!

LucyBop · July 7, 2003 8:47AM

I found this little Jewel in a Scottsdale coin shop in Az. It was only 8 dollars, I knew it was a DCAM coin, but it had issues, one being a large hairline to the left of Frankies head which runs vertical. That said, its a lovely coin with nice deep mirrors.... DCAM Frankies are a sight to behold...... This coin only graded a pr64dcam as this hairline was a grade killer....

Now here is your chance to win this JEWEL (yes, I'll call it that regardless of the grade)....... All you have to do is respond to this thread and tell the HepKitty what your favorite song from the 1950s/1960s is....... I'll run this till Friday night, which at that point I'll do a drawing and then send this coin to the lucky winner....... Happy collecting!

The Lion Sleeps Tonight -- it was my father's favorite that he used to sing all the time. He's been gone 12 years, but everytime I hear it on the radio, I can still hear his voice singing along with it. Matter of fact, on my way to my wedding, it came on the radio and I knew even though he wasn't there in body, he was there with my wife and I in spirit.

Russ, NCNE

littlewicher · July 7, 2003 8:58AM

I love jump jive and wail, I'm not sure if it's the right time period, though.

If it isn't, I also like Twist and Shout by the Beatles, but I'm not sure if that's in the 50s/60s either.

asnooker · July 7, 2003 8:58AM

It's hard to name just one favorite song....from my favorite era but... how about "Go away little girl" I really dug older men at the time that song was popular. Heck I still dig older men. LOL Please enter me in the contest for the coin with one of the hippest older men I'm aware of........ all men have grading issues....don't they? LOL

I agree, it is too hard to decide! "Are you Lonesome Tonight" is also pretty high on my list of favorites.
