There proofs were minted in Philadelphia, therefore they were not "proof only" as the modern San Francisco ones are called.
If you added the proofs, you would have two of each Philadelphia Franklin (except 1948 and 1949); one proof, one business strike.
Like I said, my Dansco has no space for them, and I am sure you Whitman is the same, so feel proud to have a complete business strike set!

Congrats!
I'm short of 4 franklins to complete the set. Mine is MS62-MS64. My intercept album doesn't have slots for proofs so I sold the proofs I had to buy the UNC I needed. This will be my first completed album once I'm done.

Congratulations, now on to the next one! LOL Let me know if you go with the Roosevelts. I have lots of triplicates. |

cheungsta,
I offered them to Mint Marq first, I'll PM you both a list of what I have, and we'll see what's left.
cheungsta, you must not have enabled the email thingy, if you want a list, send me a PM.....the envelope and letter iconat the top of the window.

Nice pics (for being <100K)! Just curious...about how much did it cost you to put the set together? Franklins are pretty high up on my list of next sets to work on... =)

I bought most of them for about 12x to 13.5x face value. I had a few from my dad and I found a couple roll hunting, and was able to trade some of my duplicates to fill holes.

Very nice. I put my sets together on the cheap as well - my Peace dollar set (minus the 1928) was <$50 each (most in the mid $20 range) except for the 1921 (my one splurge). I'm doing a set of silver Roosevelts and add some when I can find the EF-AU for around $1-2 (they pop up at coin shows in the dig baskets in this range). I would also suggest the wartime Mercs as a fun set (or subset according to some). Nice job on the album - I might have to try one of those sometime |

I have also been focusing on Mercury dimes for quite some time. I have all but 38s, 21, 21d, 16d in an album(No Variations 42/1 or micro s either). I fear I won't be doing the banana dance for awhile on that one though. Even if I buy the 16d in the future, I doubt it will ever slum it with the other dates in my album.... Roosevelts should be fun and alot easier, especially since I am going for the old dansco 46-68 |
