<p>[QUOTE="quarter-back, post: 1917897, member: 47022"]I like Franklins because I like collecting varieties. The Franklin series has high enough mintages that there is no real stopper, but die life was short enough to allow for lots of varieties including the major ones (Type 1 and Type 2 reverses), intermediate (strong doubled dies and repunched mintmarks) and less obvious one (early 50's Type 1a and Type 1b reverses). Cherry-picking is pretty fruitful with many being available for basically melt or a little over melt if you want uncirculated coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
