That Franklin has some of the nicest toning I've seen on a Franklin. I could see it being a highly prized piece for a registry set, and a bidding war ensuing. Knowing (somewhat) of @ddddd 's tastes, I'm tempted to go as much as $400, but... I know he is also a sensible person to a degree, so I'll say.... $250
Also, I've paid more then some of the guesses for an AT'd Franklin, so the NT with the star (IMO) justifies my guess. In my eyes at least!
@Beefer518 extrapolated my exact thoughts! This is one of the nicest Franklins that I have owned and the nicest that I have kept. Stars aren't as widespread on this series as on Morgans (and I have seen a couple of questionable stars on Franklins lately). Based on some of the guesses I may have overpaid, but I think this coin was worth it. The final price was $302.50. @Beefer518 you are next...

Alrighty then! Here's an 1832 Small Letters Capped Bust Half I picked up this past summer. Never really thought of it as a toner, but it I guess it is. It's in an older ANACS (white) holder, and graded XF45 Numismedia - VF40 $168 AU50 $336 PCGS - $275 NGC (XF) - $200 So, what did I pay?
