<p>[QUOTE="bwhiteside59, post: 1351247, member: 32355"]I have gotten into Franklins very heavily in the past few years. My other passion is Ike. Two good books for Franklins are: The Official Red Book. A Guide Book of Franklin & Kennedy Half Dollars. Rick Tomaska; which has color pics of toned Franklins. The Complete Guide to Franklin Half Dollars. Rick Tomaska; black and white but a LOT of detail on Franklins. I got mine on Ebay. Thats a good start on your set. My opinion is the nicer MS I would put in Saflips and keep them in either an Intercept Shield or blue Whitman 2x2 storage box. it looks you have a few at least MS60. You would be surprised how good some AU look and they would look great in the album; the problem with those albums is that some of the components may be acidic and cause problems in long term storage. I advise wearing cotton gloves when handling any coin; even circulated-definately UNC. I found cheap cotton gloves on Ebay and got plenty-eventhough they are thin its better than your bare hands and its easy to throw them away when they get too much green or dirty on them. Hope this helps. I think your set looks GREAT![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
