    physics-fan3.14 You got any more of them.... prooflikes?

    I am not depressed at all by dropping Franklin prices. That just means I can get nicer, better, more :) That is a gorgeous EOR you got there, do you mind if I ask how much you paid (send me a PM if you prefer)? '61 Toners are incredibly scarce, especially as nice as that - that is a classic, beautiful example. Here is my 1963D PCGS MS-64 EOR:

    I'm depressed~ in a good way

    I'm depressed now. ;)

    That is one bodacious Frank and makes my stash want to run & hide.

    May as well hit you guys up for an opinion. The rest of this type I 63 D coin looks to this newbie to be MS.

    Is this a late die state thingie on the bell lines?

    It's an amazing coin. You're lucky to own it.

    And I thought the Franklin's were increasing in value with the spike in the silver prices. Live and learn on this site.

    Not depressed one bit. Let them fall. I'm buying! Awesome coin by the way.
    I have a feeling many of the current prices will eventually be their bullion values. Maybe before long.

    Ya just missed your chance to ravage me. I put four in~a~series halves up on feeBay with a '64 AU JFK & Bicent to round out the lot. The '63 D was a MS ** Blast White, the 1918 Walker was the worst of my dups, but I still got less that spot for the silver. :crying:

    BUT Hey. I may have made $00.23 on S&H because I reused a padded mailer & My wife is happy I'm getting my old junk out of her way.:goof::goof:

    Only took a week so I figure I only lost 0.0000001 cents an hour to provide the lucky winner with their new treasures.

    (I'm watching the mailman walk off right now with the prize:desk:)

    I just hope 1950-55 goes down also. a Pr-65 Cameo last I looked was still $5500.00

    This is typical news, as I recently completed the Franklin collection. I guess this is the golden oppertunity for me to upgrade some of the dogs in the bunch. Nice coin, by the way!

    Still a fun series to collect, and thanks for all the compliments on my 1961 example - that wows even the non-collectors. This next example illustrates how far prices have come down, this is a 1950 PCGS MS-65 FBL example that I picked up for around $120. These were selling for far more years ago.

    Picked a set o' these out the change many years ago FusterPuck. They lack the luster and grade that your coins exhibit but the set speaks to me in a language all its' own. Still, you tempt me to start a new higher grade collection. In a word your coins are "beautiful" indeed.....:)
