<p>[QUOTE="JCB1983, post: 1355122, member: 23885"]Not sure what to think. When I look at the half my thoughts are constantly changing, especially when reading your responses. I am a fan of toned Franks. I did not fall in love with this toning though. The green right above the head looks tacky. The reverse looks a little more appealing though? I can deal with a choppy obverse if the reverse is smooth and out of this world. For some reason I do like the rusty looking color on the face on this one. Especially Franklin's eye. The one thing that dissapoints me about this coin is that it is not an MS-66. It would be a nice buy in the 150-225 range. 700 realized price is a huge jump even if half of the greysheet value. Enjoyed the posts.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Doug that half looks rad. Love it. The kind I can't stand are the proofs that look like somebody painted them with shinny nailpolish. The glossy hazy look no way. I know everyone is different but I like the Frankies that Julian/Krypto/ and John Strategies sells.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
