This is my #2 set in an old Library of Coins Album circa early 1963 (my best guess) Very nice!  |

Please tell me you at least tried to haggle with them! No, I was just browsing. I didn't buy them. I guess $17 each isn't too bad, especially considering their prices on other things. |

Darth Morgan, were those Franklins all problem-free BU? If they are I think $85 for the lot is a fair price.

Great bens everyone. I have enjoyed the show! Wanted to share my franklin proof set. I've been working on it for a few years now and loving every minute of it. I still need the big ones... 1950, 1951 and the 1961 DDR, but I'm closer than I've ever BEN! I dont have pics of my MS set, but maybe one of these days I will get around to that. Here goes:     |

Here is my modest stash:   Although my current concentration is circulation-strike Kennedy halves, I also plan to more actively collect these as money will allow. They were always one of my favorite designs. The 1961 proof was my first one, bought at a flea market when I was a kid, and before I ever knew what a proof coin was. Love the Franklins! |
