<p>[QUOTE=&quot;physics-fan3.14, post: 765622, member: 19165&quot;]With the purchase of the incredibly elusive 1952S tonight, I completed my Franklin half dollar set. Every coin is a minimum of 64FBL, every coin is slabbed by NGC, and every coin is a well struck FBL (with the exception of the 1953S, of course). </p><p><br /></p><p>Tonight marks the culmination of 8 years of work, and I can think of no better coin to finish the set with. The 1952S is the second hardest coin in the entire series, next to the 1953S, and I have only seen a handful of NGC FBL&#039;s appear at auction over the past couple years. There was a 64FBL in a recent Heritage auction which I decided to pass on because it was unattractive, as much as I wanted it. Mark Feld helped me make that decision (thanks!) I was pleased to see this coin appear on Ebay from greattoning, with whom I have had positive transactions with before (and who is known to several board members). His coins are usually quite attractive, so I had no reservations in bidding on this one. </p><p><br /></p><p>I was able to get this coin for a very fair price (well under Numismedia and PCGS retail, and even under recent Heritage completed auctions). Needless to say, I was willing to go considerably higher. </p><p><br /></p><p>(My Award-Winning Registry set is linked in my Signature)</p><p><br /></p><p>So, without further ado, here it is![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
