[QUOTE="Skyman, post: 1125856, member: 28299"]I've been collecting Frankies for 20+ years. Several different things, first off, congrats to the OP, that is a very pleasant looking '58-D.

For that matter, a 1958 P with FBL is MUCH harder to come by than a 1958 D, and indeed significantly harder to find than either a '57 P or D.

IMO that coin is NOT FBL, so I would not pay the sort of money that it is currently listed at. Have fun with your Frankie. '58 D's are generally the nicest toned Franklins around.
