Heres the newest addition. 1958 PCGS PR66CAM, CAC.

Its the first CAC coin I have owned... doesn't really do it for me, but hey, I guess it cant be a bad thing to have an extra set of eyes agree with the grade.

Anyway, here it is:

Proof-Franklin-Collection...-Ongoing

Proof-Franklin-Collection...-Ongoing

Really, the only ones left in my collection that can be had reasonably in higher grades are 60 and 54. 54 will push it a bit, but I dont think finding a 65 or 66 will be too tough.

After that, phew... the big dogs. Posts may be fewer and farther between. 1950, 1951, 1952 and 61DDR. If anyone has a DDR they would like to donate, let me know!

Great 58, I haven't been able to add to my set since last July. Do you have a 1959 yet?

Heres my most recent addition.

I upgraded to this PCGS PR67 DCAM. The reverse really knocked me out. Its one of the stronger cameo reverses I have seen for any date.

Enjoy:

I have the complete set that I bought a few years ago in a Dansco Album. All mint uncirculated coins All look MS65 or better to me. I Should send em to be graded but I really like looking at those coins in the album. What a quandary should I send them to be graded for that is really the only way to know for sure. That would really increase what their worth being all MS65 or better. Hmmm might be worth the cost.

Very pleased with my progress in this awesome set.

The last coins for the collection are, of course, the big dogs: 1950, 1951, 1952, 1959 and the king... the 1961 DDR.

I may have to sell my house, my truck, my dog and maybe my kids to finish the set!

Thanks for looking.

Nice additions. I picked up a 1955 pr cam this week and I'm in the same boat with you on the tough ones.

Have traded up to this awesome 1956 type 2. Used my previous 1956 and another duplicate to snag it.
Will be trying to put together a post with all updated pics with where my set is at. Takes me forever!

Ejnoy, thank you guys for looking!
