Early Franklin collectors actually preferred to find coins on which &quot;Pass and Stowe&quot; was fully readable (on some issues, this is easier to find; on some, harder). TPGs began designating FBL after a campaign led by Rick Tomaska garnered enough support. Tomaska wrote a very good book on Franklins, but even from very early on he was a shameless promoter in the vein of B. Max Mehl.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
