Aren't you glad? Kinda of a rush too. I have cracked many proof and mint sets, some I had since I was a teenager (quite a few years ago).

I love freeing coins from 1960's to early 1980's cellophane. Depending how the coins have been stored over the years can cause some real issues. Can't wait to see pics!

If I remember, and I probably don't, it's probably good that you took the coins out of that mint packaging. There were several years that was not favorable to the longterm storage of coins.

Haha! Totally right Duke, it was very exiting! and I am totally chuffed. Although I not very good at all at taking pictures of proof coins, I will give it the old college try! I'll post pics if I can get any decent ones. :) thanks for the advice Carmykle, I will look into that for the future. :)
Thanks for all the keen interest guys, it means a lot. :D

I always open sets, then put the coin in something other than a cardboard 2 X 2 like a coin-tain.

Are you going to send the Franklin in for grading? It's not as common to get cameos from the 60s back than from the 80s and forward. In those, you get all cameos every time!

Thanks guys, I may send it off to get graded but being on the south coast of England it would cost close to £70 (117 dollars)to get a single coin graded by PCGS, including postage and membership. :(
I will wait until I have quite a few coins to send off to make it viable.

If you are trying to make a profit this coin would not be worthwhile to send in to NGC or PCGS. From these photos I am very confident it would not make the cameo designation.

The cameo is deeper in hand, I couldn't seem to do it justice with this little camera. Anyway, enjoy!
