I have an 1851 large cent that's been in the family since the civil war. Originated in Delaware.
Man is that ever so subtle. To the untrained eye those Franklins have probably passed through lots of hands.
Even though its been cleaned, looks like its well on its way to a nice toning.
Looks like someone uncovered it metal detecting.
The biggest piece of advice is to not become discouraged. I've personally search $5k in halves and not get anything. It's all about timing,...
Something to keep in mind when you're shopping for proof Franklins is to watch for cameo types. This is when the raised devices/features exhibit...

Like medoraman, it's a great hedge against inflation and to me it's more attractive to look at a big pile of good old silver coins than bars and...
If you only have a few pounds, the donation part sounds like a good idea. Then you can get your tax write off slip.
Proof sets between 58-70 are reasonably priced. Often times you'll only be paying the melt value on these silver sets. I buy the 58-60's all the...
