<p>[QUOTE="Morgandude11, post: 1442621, member: 37839"]After collecting Morgans as my coin of choice (and lots of others) for over 40 years, I have decided to now concentrate on the Franklin Half series. In my opinion, it is a very attractive coin in high level MS or proof, and can be had relatively easily in highly desirable specimens. In the past few weeks, I have already grabbed up some very choice Frankies, including the elusive 1950 proof (low mintage, and hard to find an attractive specimen that doesn't break the bank). So, first I shall go for the full set of 15 proof coins, in as high grade as I can get and like the eye appeal of the date. Then I will do all of the regular issues from 1948-63. This doesn't mean that I will abandon Morgans, as they have been the love of my coin life for so many years, and 5 different collections over the years. It is just fun to find a new love, and to go with it. Not necessarily going to do any company registry, as I buy coins based on eye appeal to me. THis should be fun!! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
