[QUOTE="Paddy54, post: 2712477, member: 19250"]I can understand finding it in the bargain box.....and not to knock the coin or you for buying it. One must understand that Franklin half's unless they are top of the mark are a dime a dozen Well struck MS and Camo Proofs only hold a premium . I've been to shows where a person walked in holding a nice black Capital holder filled with nice MS Franklin half's walk to 25 tables and each dealer turn the seller down. Reasons #1 no market for run of the mill nice ms coins. #2 didn't want to offer spot for again two reasons...1 didn't want to insult the owner,#2 really didn't want to carry more Franklin ' s on their inventory . Don't misunderstand I do collect them I have a complete set on unc. ms coins, only need 3 proofs to complete the proofs . And I am very satisfied with my set. But again you're talking moon money for top of the mark. Reason being few and far between on a series that has good mintage's,but lack well struck quality coins.[/QUOTE]
