<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Skyman, post: 2788731, member: 28299&quot;]I like the 1956 numbered 831... that Lunchbox John posted.</p><p><br /></p><p>Of the other 4 that you posted links to, the 1956, the 1952 and the 1958 are WAY overpriced for the quality of the toning and the coin.&nbsp; The 1948 has decent toning for the date/mm, but it&#039;s ridiculous what TPG&#039;s will put in 65 holders these days.</p><p><br /></p><p>As you might guess from looking at my avatar, I like toned Franklins.&nbsp; Here&#039;s a link to my toned Franklin business strike set.&nbsp; It was completed years ago (and rated as the # 16 set then), and only very rarely over the intervening years have I found a worthwhile upgrade.&nbsp; Before you look at the images, look at what the grades are/were.&nbsp; You&#039;ll see that quite a few of my coins are significantly under graded by today&#039;s standards, but as I have no interest in playing the Registry point game (my set is currently rated #23), or in selling the set anytime soon, I have no interest in reslabbing the suckers.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://coins.www.collectors-society.com/registry/coins/SetGallery.aspx?PeopleSetID=8611" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://coins.www.collectors-society.com/registry/coins/SetGallery.aspx?PeopleSetID=8611" rel="nofollow">https://coins.www.collectors-society.com/registry/coins/SetGallery.aspx?PeopleSetID=8611</a></p><p><br /></p><p>One thing also to be VERY aware of these days is that there are a lot of AT Franklins out there.&nbsp; The ones that you have posted are all NT, which is says a lot about your ability.</p><p><br /></p><p>FWIW, if you are interested in finding a toned Philly Franklin, your best bet(s) would be ones from 1956, 1957 and 1958.&nbsp; Those are the best years for finding toned P mint Franklins.&nbsp; You can find some QUITE nice toners for not too much money.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
