[QUOTE="Victor, post: 195281, member: 5454"]I am happy just having a complete set of all 35 coins in a new Dansco. Along the way I ended up with 8 extra and a 1956 type 2 proof NGC MS67. Several are FBL and I am upgrading one at a time to BU and FBL. The most I spent on any one coin was $50 for a raw 1952S MS63. The 1955 was $25. Some are from when my late brother and I were in 7th and 8th grade way back in 1962. So this set is a keeper. Franklins take a lot of flack. Comments abound about "ugly coin" and some say they hate Franklins. This may be due to the fact that bag marks, nicks and scrapes are so easy to pick up on. The obverse field is so large and smooth it is easy to mess it up. same goes for the face and cheek area. Personally I would not spend 100% of what I paid for a coin (or set of coins) just for grading.[/QUOTE]
