    Proof and UNC Sets

    Let's throw in a somewhat different aspect, e.g. how about CURRENTLY buying mint sets from 1947-58. Some of them can be worth bongo bucks because...

    1941-S PCGS MS64 50c. TASTE THE RAINBOW? ;)

    Not my cup of tea... It probably is NT, but that's not a common set of colors for Walkers of that era which makes me a little leery.

    so disappointed i didn't win this coin ...

    Attractive coin, but not worth $300+ IMO. You were lucky to not win it. One thing to remember with coin collecting... there is ALWAYS another...

    Is this desireable toning???

    I think the OP coin is generic toning. It should not particularly add or subtract to the value of the coin.

    MS65FBL 1949-D Franklin.

    It's barely noticeable in hand. It's a prime example of how different images can emphasize or minimize different aspects of a coin.

    Mint Set Toned 1958 Franklin Half (wow)

    Larry, my best guess for your coin is envelope toning. Officially a nick knocks a coin out of FBL status, but the fact of the matter is that...

    Does this Franklin look 66 to you?

    By PCGS standards that is a low end 66FBL. Personally I'd call it a 65. I've been collecting Frankies, both proof and business strike, for 20+...
