Two new Franklins... man I love these coins. So many dealers at the show I was at this weekend looked at me funny when all I looked at was the Franklins   I wish I could capture the true color of this coin. It is more alive... esp the obverse.   Pretty good deal on this one. Both coins were bough raw.

Love the Franklins too. Is the 1957 a cameo?

Thanks jbuck and muddler. Yes it is a cameo. I worked for about 20 minutes to get a pic that at least somewhat showed how pretty she is.

Went on a trip to Utah as mentioned a couple pages back. We stopped by the gold and silver pawn shop (pawn stars) on our way there. I was planning on looking at the coins and maybe picking something out from their collection... turns out they only had a few expensive, overpriced coins. Same with all the other items in the store. Well I picked this out just as a souvenir  When I asked him for one he first started trying to convince me its a better investment for the full ounce and I had to tell him I just wanted a souvenir a couple times. Then while I was getting the $10 out of my wallet he flicked it into the air with his thumb and caught it! What a punk. I should have told him to go get me a new one after that but I just left. Then I headed over to zion where we spent our vacation. It had, so far, the most beautiful sights I have ever seen. I have a smushed penny collection that I don't really pay attention to but whenever I see one of those machines I have to get one.

jgettings00, I always do the smashed penny thing too. I like to get junked Indian cents and and smash them. Or at least a copper cent. The zinc cents just don't smash well. Everyone looks at me funny when I try to explain I need a "copper" penny because most people think they are all copper. Funny and frustrating at the same time.

Got this for a little over scrap. Why do so many coins have Liberty's face punched out? Was this a New Orleans Half Dime?
