Here's one I bought raw and thought was a LOCK for a CAMEO. Unfortunately PCGS did not think so, and graded it PR66. I do wonder what they saw that I didn't... maybe the jowel area? If so, that is VERY picky...

 

just got these

Sorry to hear your Franklin is not cameo.
I see definitely cameo devices, PCGS is wrong in this case.
Maybe they downgraded the coin since it' s lightly hairlined on the jaw.

 

This finishes out my 1950 assembled proof set for my wife's birth year:

 

don't tell her you posted, a no-no, you just gave her age away.

 

Picked this up for melt last week. I got 3 of them and after a second look I realized this one is a proof.

 

You can tell by? it was minted in philly and no mint mark or is there other details that give it away?

 

It really is that color, a nice brownish gold. What causes toning on both sides of a coin like this one? I especially like this coin as it's not only an FBL but it has aged well too.

 

This has to be the prettiest Franklin I've seen.

 

Nice. I like.

 

My god that is beaufitul. You're lucky to have that one.

 

Love all these Franklins. A series that lasted all too briefly.

 

so true I just picked up a 1954-D MS64 FBL. Can't wait to add it to the collection.

 

The Franklin, as far as overall coinage goes, is simple but still bold in its design, IMHO.

 

My latest I like it.
