<p>[QUOTE="Randy Abercrombie, post: 3329892, member: 92655"]I assembled a spectacular Franklin set in the 1980-90’s. That set was stolen from me some years ago.... Point is, at that time the absolute top dollar I spent for truly spectacular examples was maybe $75.00. That was 25-30 years ago...... I have recently assembled another set of very nice examples. Not spectacular, but quite nice. I spent on average $50-$75 each for them.</p><p><br /></p><p>Point being, in my simplistic view, Franklins have been vastly over priced since the advent of the TPG’s. It is a common series and all dates are readily available..... I’ll step on some toes here, but the TPG’s did not do the Franklin half any favors. It’s not a coin that is defined by sharp features thus the difference between most MS examples are indistinguishable to all but the most educated and discerning eye. In my view anyway, it is a welcomed correction.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
