Thanks, everyone. That coin completes my goal of collecting certified examples of the 35 Franklin half dollar business strikes; 14 are Full Bell Lines examples.

Grades: Seven MS63; Twenty-Five MS64; Three MS65.

Great Achievement cptbilly! Aren't you just two proofs away on the proof issues? The $$$ ones.

Thank you all for the kind & encouraging comments. I appreciate it very much.

@seamonkey: I cannibalized some inherited proof sets (1953, 1957) and submitted the FHDs for grading / certification. Picked up a raw 1952 proof this week:

A pricey certified 1951 NGC PF-65 is on the way. The first proof in the series -- 1950 -- and the last of the proofs I need, will have to wait ; asking prices for graded examples are a lot of cheddar. The raw examples don't come cheap either. Maybe a birthday present to myself come November ?

Those are some beautiful proofs!

This one came in the mail today for me. Too reflective for the full-coin shot for my camera apparently, but I think it may pass as cameo...
