I'm warming up to Franklins. Another thing I like is I don't expect you need to worry much about counterfeits. If it's not magnetic and the...
Well said, I appreciate the comments. I keep forgetting life is a journey, not a destination. Never really thot about doing Franklins, I like...
I've been contemplating what series I want to collect next and got to wondering what the entire series would likely cost. I did this for lincoln...
The text is hard to read in the photo, can you type it in? I''d do a search on that and see if you get any hits on the web.
Thanks for the feedback. The wide range of responses confirms what I was thinking, that this coin is hard to grade. If you look at liberty's...
Anyone care to venture a grade on this coin? Doesn't appear to be a real good strike to me [ATTACH]

Ha! 7.99 seems tough to beat. I just got my order in. Thanks a ton BadThad.

Thanks for all the help, I really appreciate it. I'll probably put it in the album and leave it at that. I was at the Northwest Coin show in...
You were right in guessing it's for my Dansco type set, and I agree, I really like the look. I'm not a dealer, just a part time collector that...
Thanks Larry, So for valuation would you look at a VF level? In looking at the NGC price guide it says VF=$390 and XF = $630....
So that ding makes it non-gradable? That's interesting, I wouldn't think it was that significant. I'm not all athat interested inthe grading,...
