<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Buddy Love, post: 8073890, member: 91504&quot;]I was offered this coin in early 2018, and had it in hand.&nbsp;&nbsp; Having collected toned Franklins for 40+ years, this coin definitely hits the Top 10 for the most unique, interesting, and beautiful toning on any Franklin known.</p><p><br /></p><p>I graded it 66 or 66+ (forgot which), because the surfaces held the grade back, but the eye appeal was off the charts.&nbsp; I offered $10,000.&nbsp; At that time, the highest price paid for any 1958 Franklin in any grade was just over $3,000.&nbsp; It was a strong offer, but it was declined.&nbsp; If I recall correctly, the ask price was $17,000.</p><p><br /></p><p>You know what happened next, it sold at auction&nbsp; in Sept 2018 for $129,500.&nbsp; Update for those who are not aware, it was put back into auction in May 2021 and sold for $47,000.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Funny, had my offer been accepted, this discourse would not exist.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>P.S. - Some folks making comments here should listen to Lehigh96 and ldhair, they are doing well with trying to help you.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
