Post Your Franklins!

Anyone think this might be FBL.

Thanks gborke. That means a lot coming from you.

 

Can't be certain because the image is too small, but from what I can see I would say yes. Also, just the fact that it is a 1948 makes the chances pretty high, as most 48's are FBL.

 

Most of my franklins are just junk silver.... This is my one nice Frankie- a 1960 proof.

 

My first two Franklin's....working on a 14 coin proof set of them.

 

Good luck on those first 3 franklin proofs in the series. They can get a little pricey, but not uncontainable (<meant unobtainable, haha).

Here's one I acquired today for $25

:thumb:I been working on a nice all Deep Cameo set to but 1950-1953 in PR-67DCam cost a arm and a leg!!!!

Maybe 3/4 of the bell line is strong but can not see 100% in photo it could be but photo not showing it!!!
Any MS-1948 Franklin is a hard 1 to find in FBL @ Reasonable price

 

Just Back From ANACS

 

Very nice! and a discovery piece to boot, on a Bugs Bunny no less!

Yup, I'm a little jealous.

On a side note, I recently sent off to ANACS and I don't care for those yellow slabs very much, still great coins !

 

Excuse the stupid question (if it is one) - what is a Discovery Piece?

 

Not a stupid question at all and I can only use what I've been able to gather from just picking things up along the way myself - never read up on it much.

Anyway, i think it means this is the first piece with whatever particular attribute the slab is saying. So I guess he's the one who found the 1959 Bugs Bunny variety, at least that's what I'm assuming.

 

"New Discovery"
Maybe 1959 Franklin Bugs Bunny???
I know that 1953-1956 P-D+S have been found with the Bugs Bunny Die Error. I have a 1954-P one myself.
But I am not an Expert just old school US+World coin collector

 

Those would make sense... I wonder if that only applies to that particular TPG, or if it's hobby-wide? Interesting! Congrats, Toaster!

 

I check ALL my Frankins for the Bugs Bunny variety, I feel like its something that could easily span almost all years of production. Definitely an interesting variety and one of my favorites. I probably have 4-55 Bugs Bunnys and a 54 also.

 

Here are a few I found roll hunting

I got these a while back and not from roll hunting, I have only found 1 Franky roll hunting and he is chocolate brown in color.

 

:thumb:I think your right the whole series could have a Bugs Bunny coin as its just a die area that breaks off.I think J Q Bowers has that in a a book or John Wexler Coin World.my 1954 I found myself anyway Pcgs did not. If I would have $$ payed them for details maybe they would have noted it.

 

Here on of the Pcgs PR-67Cameo
