Message:: [QUOTE="physics-fan3.14, post: 768650, member: 19165"]As many of you know, I just finished my Franklin half dollar collection (Registry linked in my sig line). The final coin arrived in the mail this morning, so I spent much of my day just looking back over the entire collection. I remember purchasing each and every coin, I remember the shows, the adventures, learning about them. I remember many of the articles that I wrote about each of the pieces (of which most are in my Registry set, albeit cut down due to space limitations). I remember many of the pieces these coins upgraded, I remember what circumstances in life I was going through when I bought them. This collection started while I was in college, has been with me through 6 moves, 3 states, 2 jobs, and a host of other ups and downs in life. Looking back, I can remember the comfort and solace they provided me, and the occasions that some of them celebrate. I am incredibly proud of my set, so I would like to now take the opportunity to let you see it in its entirety, all together. The first shot is just the core collection - the 35 required to complete the set. The second shot includes all the other coins that I have added to the set along the way - toners, varieties, errors, and up in the top left corner, an incredibly rare prooflike. So, without further ado, I give you... The Poe Collection of Franklin Half Dollars.[/QUOTE]
