Here are my proofs so far. Sorry pics aren't the best. Some look scratched but it is the case not the coin.

Congrades to that. Are you putting them in Albums or keeping them in slabs?

I will definitely keep you all updated on my proofs. I just spent most of this months coin budget on some King George III shillings so it will probably be a little while before I can complete.

I was asked if I was going to keep them in slabs or put them in album. Following advice I received here I bid on a few graded coins so I could learn how to grade this series before I picked up anything in the "wild".I was planning to put an album together. I broke a few out but, although I am not in this for profit I decided not break out the more expensive and higher grade coins. If for some unfortunate reason I need to sell or when I'm gone my family can get best price for the coins. I put the rest in air-tites. I think aesthetically it would be nice to have them in an album however, I have learned to enjoy them as they are.

Wow, that's a really nice one. Which one you missing? That 1950 is quite expensive.

Here is my favorite Franklin in my collection... (the smudges are on the slab, not the coin.)
