edit post...

yea I know there is a lot to chew on..

my plan, weather to sell to the CCF community or just stock up and sell myself, advertise right and make some profit. my shop lets me have it for less than grey sheet price, I mean heck, he was giving me FBL int state coins for UNDER MELT.. if I can do that and even sell a common date, 58-63 in mint state for 10-15, I made profit; any profit is good profit right? anyway, when I get some more money freed up I plan to start cherry picking out the really good ones, again, the coin shop gives me a price and he tells me to pick which ever I want, even if the guy thinks it could make ms65, I get the same price... gotta love that

as far as other coins? right now I'm infatuated with MR Franklin...

What's the current Grey Sheet bid/ask on MS63 58-63 Franklins? Mine is about 6 or 7 months old before the silver run up.

It sounds like a fairly good plan if you're sure you know how to grade Franklin halves well and you know how to identify FBL's.

Good luck!

hard to make any money prob not even worth your time.

Being the commom date franklins 55-63 MS-60 are only worth about $12
http://www.numismedia.com/fmv/price...icesgd.shtml

If he sells them to you around melt at $9 each and your wanting to give CFF members a deal on ms+ coins
You are def gonna have to get 49 -55 plain , s,d valued higher in MS+ value

Then the 50's 60's common mint lower grades becuase I dont think anyone will pay above melt even for the BU and AU stuff unless its the 49-s and 52s even in that condition they are not worth much above melt if your trying to give anyone a deal

One day franklins will get more apprication, due to all the melting of coins you never know what will become more valuable in the future

yea man if they are ms63+ at melt def a good deal even the common dates

But be sure to really check um good ms+63 franklin that is worth $15-20
in BU/AU condition might only be worth 9-10$

wierd how how franklins can double in value even triple in value from ms63 to ms65

But at melt or under , you can hold um if they dont sell and just take um to another place buying around melt price free up some cash then cherry pick the guy that lets you for diff dates and see if those sell

im trying to compile a list of the dates people gave me.


like I said, the shop has most dates in tubes. with my 48-d, he had 2 full tubes to look through. as with the 55-p.. it was fun looking through his rolls of 61-p proofs.. was hoping for a DDR...lol.. but there were some NIIICE +63 proofs in there as well.

i would try my hardest to get any FBL's I could find, however, you would have to be the judge. I will take some photos of the coin and then one could determine if it was FBL or close to it..
