<p>[QUOTE=&quot;bahabully, post: 1753902, member: 17555&quot;]For what&#039;s it is worth I don&#039;t find the toning on the Franky&#039;s at all worth attractive or worth a premium.... which is probably why they were secured at a very low premium, or at retail nominal price points.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Yes, there are indeed a lot of experts in this thread.&nbsp; imo, Doug is one of them, primarily for the reason that he explains above, and which the subtle point may have been missed.&nbsp; &nbsp; Others on the board approach expertise in some areas, but sometimes appear too eager to attain the rank.&nbsp;&nbsp; (maybe a bit of &quot;if you want to be a general, then act like one first&quot;.. going on).&nbsp;&nbsp; Fun to watch play out of the years.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The Buff indeed could have been AT/MA book toned... but unsure it was slabbed at a time in which that activity was as profoundly in play as it is today.&nbsp;&nbsp; Either way, I found that coin attractive as well.. don&#039;t care how it got that way.&nbsp; A tpg putting their blessing on it is a plus, but I&#039;d buy it raw too....&nbsp; but I&#039;d be very mindful not to chase it to a wild premium over the grade.. ever,, on any coin... unless I just had to have it and had the $ to flush down the drain while my wife wasn&#039;t looking.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
