Oh, and this. As green would say, I'm keeping my mailman busy (but not for the next month, wife told me to slow down in December).

 

Haha! Very good! You must be working on a Lincoln set?

 

Gotta listen to the little women. Though sometimes it's hard to.........

 

Next Peice of my 1962 pcgs mint set price was very right (wanted a 65 but hoooweee the prices ) Though graded 64 is probably a 63 but I ain't gonna complain for only $25. (sellers pic)

 

Yeah, trying, but I get diverted by other coin pursuits as well.

 

Funny how that happens.

 

The thrill of getting something cool, no matter what, is a good feeling that passing things up to stay focused is difficult.

 

Yup I get introuble like that too lol. I tell her its better then other addictions lol. Who ever knew coin collecting was such a great drug.

 

She is actually very understanding and supports my habit to a very large degree. It is good to have a good woman (or man if that be the case) who pretty much lets you do as you please without asking a lot in return.

 

seller actualy sent me a differently numbered slab (was a "stock" photo) Since the one i recieved actualy seems much closer to a MS64 I can't really complain. I just won't be buying from this seller again as I can't stand dealers that use stock photos. Every time I have had to return a coin it was because a stock photo was used and the coin I got was not as nice as the one pictured. Is nice to see it go the other way this time.

 

Glad that worked out that way, mrweaseluv! Nice Franklin too.

 

I try to avoid sellers that I think are using stock photos because not all 64's are equal.

 

Paid a little over list for this one, but I just love the toning.

 

One more from urbanchemist.

 

There are better ones available, and cheaper!

So I've heard...

 

List is only a starting point to go up or down depending on other factors, toning being one such quality.

 

Agreed, excellent point!

 

Ya - some of those toners can get quite a premium too.

 

I sure do like mid week middle of the day ending auctions. Pictures when it gets here....MS66FBL 1948 Franklin.
