Post Your Franklins!

Would you say this is a RPM? As 1954 S Franklin's are not known for an RPM....

Sorry Paddy,
I cannot see a RPM.
But I wish I could.

 

Yeah was ever hopeful but kinda knew it was md. But sure was a heart stopper for a second .
And to be honest I like the coin tone as well as the neat clash it has......no it's not a high dollar Franklin but pretty cool .

 

Paddy,

I love your Franklin as well.
Your quality piece shows nice toning and some pretty colors.
Is it a 64 or a 65?

Tomorrow I will show you a nice 1950D....one of my favourite date within this lovely series.

Best regards
Rheingold

 

It's raw ! A weak strike from a very over worked die.
Maybe squeeze a 64 out of her..... I have a complete set of unc. Raw coins . I need the 50,51,&52 Proofs and I'll have them all .

 

My 1950D RPM

 

Here's one for you....1949 S

 

A very clear RPM

 

Yeah thanks I need to pull my 50 D out and check her also I did a quick over look of my unc. Franklin half's when I Transferred them to a Dansco.

 

Received these two today also....

 

Curious to know if anyone has a 1953S with FBL? Hard to find and can be very expensive. Thanks.

 

Seems that 53's in general PD&S with FBL hold a nice premium .

 

My first Franklin. I just find it interesting.

The 1953 D with fbl carrys just a small premium, but the 1953 S with fbl is the king of the series.

1953-D's in general come well struck, so they are relatively easy to find FBL. Unfortunately they are hard to find with decent toning.

1953-P's are much tougher to find FBL than D's, but they are easier to find nicely toned than D's.

1953-S's are BY FAR the hardest to find slabbed FBL. I do think that to a certain extent this is a function of the grading services being MUCH tougher on giving the FBL grade on this date/mm than on other date/mm, as they know that the FBL designation is worth beaucoup bucks on the 1953-S. There are plenty of more commonly found date/mm slabbed coins out there that are graded FBL that would not get an FBL if they were graded to the same standard as a 1953-S.
