<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dimeguy, post: 1565579, member: 19855&quot;]I can&#039;t speak for the collectors in the 1950&#039;s as my parents weren&#039;t even born yet, nor can I speak for rarity or difficulty of finding MS 65 FBL for the 1953 S as I am in the 63/64 range in my collection. I do know from reading several other Franklin posts that many early collectors were not all that interested in full bell lines as many were more focused on having a full &quot;Pass and Stow&quot; reading on the bell. I would imagine this trend of thinking and focus on the Franklin Half collection could explain the decreased in premium or demand for the full bell line &#039;53S as detailed in the article. As focus changed to bell lines, the attribution caught on and has been, in my opinion with most other attributions, a slight market ploy ever since. Still, I dont&#039; think the series has caught all too much popularity and thus, I&#039;m sure the price remains low, albeit I haven&#039;t checked any recent TPG autions.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
