You're looking at a bare minimum of $125+ for a 1952 Franklin Proof, and that would be in PF61 or so. Report this Post to the Staff

Gothic Florin Pillar of the Community United States 2541 Posts	Posted 07/12/2009 10:09 pm Looks to me like there are some rim bumps or something going on towards the bottom left of the coin. I personally hate not examing coins in person before buying. Report this Post to the Staff
