<p>[QUOTE="miedbe7, post: 1559809, member: 33919"]I'm working on Franklin Halves. I have been doing it since around '06-'07, but got serious last year. I have all the business strikes, raw and BU and mostly from original rolls. I'm working on the Proofs right now and have the '55-'63 flat pack proof sets. So I am missing those 5 early proofs out of the total 49 coins (35 business strikes, 14 proofs). The obstacle will be first deciding whether to get the full proof sets or just the loose Franklin proofs. (And also whether to get those still in the boxes/plastic or those already taken out and holdered in those old Capital acrylics). Either way I go, money will then become an obstacle. At least the money won't be that bad for the '54, but the others, WOW. I probably won't finish for a couple of years, which should be enough time to put away a few bucks here and there to save up. I chose it because my grandmother always gave me a Franklin half or two whenever I went on trips to her home in Miami during my childhood summer vacations. They bring back great memories of fishing and swimming all day and not having to worry about homework![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
