BamaBlue Pillar of the Community United States 624 Posts	Posted 06/12/2014 08:56 am I really love the proof Franklin in your set and proof Franklin's in general. I'm not a big fan of 'real people' being on US coins, but I have to say that Ben Franklin is the lone exception. Report this Post to the Staff
