    Very nice. Is the toning on the outside of the obverse bluish??

    52-S is a great date. Bells lines, from what I can see of them, look sharp for an S mint. Take a clearer pic when you receive it.

    Will do. I'm pretty excited. This will complete my raw Franklin set! I have been working on it on and off for YEARS. I would acquire some decent coins and get close to finishing them and then I would certify some of them ........ I'd go back and and fill some dates and do it all over again. You got a couple of those once raw now slabbed coins John. image

    I'll have to haul them out and and check, but I'm pretty sure they're the 54D and 59D, both NGC MS65FBL and both extremely clean for the grade.

    Boy did I get ripped on this one! image
    Yes, It's a nice coin. I have a 53-S that is very similar.
    Nice Luster, clean surfaces. I give it a 64. And I'm tough.
    The pic is from a scan. Hopefully pics will show off the luster better.

    You got ripped BAD! But you set your own price ......... image

    I'll post pics and do a "guess what I paid" thread when I get it.

    I just hope you enjoy it. You might consider snapping a few photos of the set to show us.

    MS64. Nice strike for a 52S and I'll bet the color looks great in hand.
