[QUOTE="lkeigwin, post: 1400999, member: 30400"]No, you are not crazy...just crazy about toned Franklins. :D I have mixed feelings... I will pay much more than guide for a beautiful coin I want. I bought a late wheatie 65RB Lincoln that is gorgeous and lists for $10; I paid $70. I bought a stunning 1814 CBH XF40 with wonderful color and under graded, IMO, for 3x price guide. I picked up the below Morgan for many multiples of list. But I always ask myself if there aren't many more like it. If there are...and I think a pretty toned '58-D Franklin isn't very tough, then I back off. The colorful Morgan is a bad example because it isn't really difficult. I had it in hand and lost my head. But still, I don't regret it. So lose no sleep. There are more examples of that one you can buy for less. Just don't get stuck on paper values. Pay what you can for quality coins. You will never regret it. Lance.
