Mechanical Error

The price guide is typically only updated when there is new significant market activity. There have probably been a couple of FBL that have sold recently at major shows and no non-FBL examples. As such, they haven't gotten around to updating the non-FBL pricing. Nevertheless, I agree with you that they SHOULD fix that.

PP I have NO idea what your table is trying to represent... did you run out of mind altering Franklins recently and go into some sort of a withdrawal syndrome???

PawPaul · June 26, 2011 12:32PM

truth be told ......I did have a little slip ;

after some 12 years on the wagon from my drug of choice (pot)

I had a binge that lasted a couple of weeks

I am back in the saddle again now -

but may I say that that sheet is 100X stronger today then it was a decade ago .

altered state or not : the price guide should strive for perfection

What a waste of coin funds!

PawPaul · June 26, 2011 1:02PM

What a waste indeed ,

I spent damn near my entire adult life stoned ............

Haha! PawPaul, this is FUNNY! But much better than having spent your entire adult life drunk.

Ah, to sleep, perchance to dream.

It might have been better than spending an adulthood dealing with reality.

I don't know, but Bob Dylan and Pink Floyd just don't sound the same way they did when I was young.

you fellers are goofy !

cant change the past .......

I was 46 when I got married , and my liver is in good shape

Now , as for that PCGS 1949 Franklin in 66 FBL that someone outbid me on tonight @ Teletrade :

I wanted it real bad - looked all of a 66+ and was pretty as a robins egg ...........

but some filthy .......errr, ahhh........... I mean some fellow Franklin lover was more determined to get it then me

georgiacop50 · June 26, 2011 10:00PM

Didn't you pay Segoja , like, $900 apiece for a couple of MS66FBL 49-P's at few yrs ago? Decidedly less attractive than last nights TT example?

kaz · June 26, 2011 10:14PM

Could someone post a link to that coin?

are you HIGH ??

I paid 450$ each for them ; and the one I kept has a lot of color Brother - it's a pop 150 coin for goodness sakes !!!

And u never know just how attractive /ugly a coin is from those T.T pix ..........

Good Grief man ; you telling me you would have shelled out 900$ for that one last night on T.T ??

PawPaul · June 27, 2011 1:34AM

<< Could someone post a link to that coin? >>

I bet they could Katz 'ole boy ;

but u too could go to Teletrade and look at prices realized and see for yourself !

lazy fellers link

PawPaul · June 27, 2011 1:40AM

if it had looked like this ; I'd have paid 2500$ !

PawPaul · June 27, 2011 1:44AM

this one will do me just fine until I find a 3000$ one

kaz · June 27, 2011 10:37AM

Thanks for the link. Now, exactly what is it that makes that Franklin so special? I am still learning about the series.

Well it is a FBL for one thing, the toning is magnificent, and if PCGS gave away stars or beans on their slabs this would have em.

toning on early Frankies is not found to be as crisp as this normally.

Awesome Frankie..

PawPaul · June 27, 2011 11:08AM

what the Fanatic said ................

and :

The coin looks damn near mark free and has monster eye appeal ,

not only that , but who/whomever is doing the bulk grading thru Teletrade is being super strict on the colored Franklins

..this particular '49 looks like it's knocking hard on MS 67 territory !

You want some solid super strictly graded Franklins without even a hint of a problem ? then bid on and win the freshly graded one's that are appearing in the T.T auctions

mkman123 · June 27, 2011 11:14AM

I think toned franks are neat but cameo/dcam are just awesome!

Funky Franklin time again !
