I got on the computer this morning and looked up Franklins Type 1 & 2. It seems that there was 3 years of types 1 & 2. 1956, 1958 and 1959. My 56 is type 1, with my 58 and 59 type 2. Isn't the internet great!  |

I filled mine with two Franklin museum tokens (they are smaller but I used black foam 28mm from airtights to snug them up. One other hole has a 10mm sterling silver Franklin from the Franklin mint no less.. and the final hole has a cutout Franklin with Liberty Bell. You could always put a Bugs Bunny Franklin in one too.... Paleoguy

To finish my set I put the following
1892 Columbian Expo , Booker T. Washington, barber, walking liberty and a 1964 kennedy
As a reminder to what sets I hope to complete one day

That is not a bad idea!  |

Quote:That is not a bad idea! I second that! For hole #5, you could consider a silver Bicentennial Half Dollar - Franklin spent a fair amount of time in Independence Hall, the building featured on the reverse of 1776-1976 half dollar.

Great ideas! Pssst... this thread is almost 11 years old. I'm guessing Wornslick has probably figured out something by now. But maybe not. |

Yup. However, Worksick is welcome to use these ideas. Sometimes you have wait for the right fit, no matter how long it takes!  |

I know you weren't responding to Wornslick; I just thought it was amusing that we had revived an 11-year-old topic. The ideas are good; my Dansco still has those 5 holes. Perhaps I'll do the PDSS of the Bicentennial half dollars for 4 of the holes and a generic Franklin reverse to show the bell for the 5th. |

No one mentioned a 55 Bugs Bunny Franklin. Is it already listed in the album?

If pursuing a Franklin "Variety" subset for the five holes, might I suggest:
1. A Full Bell Lines (FBL) example (any year)
2. A Proof Example (w/ Cameo Contrast; any year)
3. Type I (indistinct eagle feathers, reverse)
4. Type II (detailed eagle feathers,reverse)
5. Bugs Bunny (die clash, "teeth" added to Franklin portrait, obverse)
