fromms2244 Valued Member United States 461 Posts	Posted 05/25/2015 1:48 pm Franklin halves are a great series. They are fairly affordable. You can learn about how to look for a great strike. There are varieties that can be seen with the naked eye. The history of Franklin and the little eagle on the reverse is cool. Without a doubt my favorite series. Report this Post to the Staff

They are a little more than melt but you will be glad you spent the extra money in the long run. Here's the Franklin I have in my type set... Report this Post to the Staff

just carl Bedrock of the Community United States 20753 Posts	Posted 05/31/2015 11:10 am Don't know if it will help any but have you tried asking friends, neighbors and relatives if they have any? Also, try to find out about coin shows. Great place to find some maybe. Also, watch for garage/yard and estate sales. Report this Post to the Staff

I was able to do the same more than twenty years ago. I think you had the greater challenge.
