1949 S /S Franklin

I decided to take my Franklin's out of their plastic holders and put them into a Dansco album. I was looking at each of the coins as they have been put away for years . and found a few nice RPM's here's the 1949 S

Nice toning in this 1949....a MS64?

 

Sorry I meant on this Franklin

 

Nice find. A very clear RPM.

 

Then I ran across this one an 1951 S RPM

 

In that ballpark.....this set was put together back in my teens. I was just interested in an unc. set as I had a circulated set. Only working part time to fund my habbit.

 

Good eye ....Paddy, that '49s looks like it might (possibly) be a bugs bunny clashed die too....

 

I have found a couple of D's that are also RPM's but here's another S the 1952 S

 

Here's an 1953 D/D I found also.

 

Good Lord!!! Out of 35 Franklins you found 4 RPM's??? WOW!!! That has to be the best percentage group of cherries that I've ever heard of!!!

Fun looking pieces and neat RPM's!!!

 

One more to post an 1958 D RPM 001. I found about 90% of my Mint marks in this set to be rpm's. no they aren't the best grades but I like the fact that just about every MM is a repunch.

 

No there were more than 4 like 90 % of the M/M were rpm's . I didn't want to bore posting them all. Now their in their new home and hopefully will get some color to them.

 

A question on this 1961 proof Franklin date.....since I can't find an image of a 61 ddo don't the numbers look split?

 

This looks to be as a doubled die by the way the numbers are split in the date?

 

Well yes it is a ddo now I need to figure out what one, found the same style date on Franklin lovers Web site but there are like 4 listed to ID mine. Cool find though

 

I found it.....it's an Pr DDO-009

Well that was fast, there was no way you were gonna go to sleep tonight w/o attributing that coin 1st huh? LoL

 

Paddy never sleeps..........

 

Thanks for the link buddy......maybe I should do some more safe diving tomorrow and see what's down the bottom.
And yeah I had to figure it out......

 

Don't you believe it...... I can remember the days I fall asleep on a bar stool . My friend had a warped sense of humor they would move me from Charley's West side Annapolis to Pier 7. And wake me up for last call with a bar bill.
