I was born in the Philly 'burbs in 1958, so here's an appropriate coin (PCGS MS65FBL). FBL 1958 Frankies are surprisingly difficult to come by.

Ah heck, while we're at it, here's one you've seen before, but it makes the matching coin for the yearset (PCGS MS66FBL).

Have a happy Paul Revere's ride day folks!

    I love the second pic. Ms 66 FBL. Great coin. The MS 65 FBL is not to shabby either. Congrats!

    Very cool Skyman!
    Some refer to overgraded slabs as Coffins. I like to think of them as Happy Coins.

    I let out a "wow" when I viewed the first coin and then another "wow" when I viewed the second. Those are complete WOW coins!!!! Heart breakers......... I call them "heart breaker" because it breaks my heart to see them because I know I'll never own one like them.

    Thank you folks for all the kind words about these. I'm pretty happy with them as a birthyear set.

    Actually, with a little bit of patience, and some looking around, you should be able to find/buy coins like these. One of the reasons I like Franklins is that you can find some real mind-bending coins for not too much money. The first one cost $350 and the second cost $450. Granted, I think that I managed to dicker a good deal on each of them, but still...
