Your set looks great. I am working on my Franklin set now. I am about one quarter of the way done. The journey is the fun part.

Crap. Now I gotta get to work. I don't know why I've negleted 'ol Ben, the only two I have are for my birth year. I love the coin too! I think I need to do some shopping now.

Nothing like the feeling that comes with completing a set! I finished my Franklin EF or better set a few years ago. Jefferson, Kennedy & Roosevelt can be done on a reasonable budget too!

I also did a set of Franklin Halfs, finished it a while back.
Always feels great to finish up a set.

Are some of those Franklins proof coins?

Now I suggest getting a real Album and move those from the Folder to an Album. Much safer.

Congratulations on your accomplishment1 I also agree that you would be best getting rid of the folder they are in. O converted everything to albums b/c Despite storing mine for awhile in what I thought was a dry environment and wrapped up so as to make sure, these folders ruined the REV of quite a few of my coins (lost their original mint luster).

If you don't want to go 25.00 for a Dansco, try one of the Franklin albums at Wizard Coin:

The ones I have I like. And instead of 25.00 for a Dansco, I had 20.00 left over to spend on a coin :)

Yes, some of the Franklins are proof coins. I'm now working on Peace dollars, and I've just about finished my graded Eisenhower set. I think I will get a Dansco album. What about an Intercept Shield album? Are those superior?
