New Franklin -- had to feed the need - Updated in hand

Will after not getting a coin for over 6 months I went looking and found this that fit my need --- and a rotated reverse to boot. Comments welcome I can take it.

Update --Got the coin in hand and it's allot nicer then the pic's. Ton's of luster and not as dark. This one fit's my set perfectly. Now I wonder how long I can hold out till the next one ---- no one temp me and I should be good for awhile.

    Ah yes, the infamous "I have the hubble telescope, what do you mean YOU can't see the coin in the pics?" image

    I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment

    Looks pretty nice & original.
    I assume there is decent luster given the 65 grade, but it's not showing up in the pictures.

    why the 6 month layoff?
    I'm merely the keeper of fine metals.

    "why the 6 month layoff? "


    Reason's include:

    1. Narrowed my focus to the point it's hard to find coins that fit my set

    2. With my job I don't get much time to hunt and chase after the one's I need - I work 12 hour day's 6 or 7 days a week.

    3. My budget was destroyed last year and it took this long to recover

    4. Have not sold anything in 4 months --- go's see # 3

    I spent the afternoon in a coin shop perusing a box of Franklinsteins in 2x2's.
    Yours is a sight for sore eyes.

    Well the dog house would not be so bad.. been there a few times, all you have to make sure is that you have plenty of water, a clean bed, and that the place has been sprayed for fleas and tics- sometimes a night out in the house can be EXCITING!
