Weezer1878 Valued Member United States 349 Posts	Posted 06/18/2012 6:02 pm I'm just diving into my collection and I scanned the one that looked the best to me. Anything in my collection I should look out for? I have Franklins: 1948 1949 (pictured) 1949-D 1951 1951 D 1952 S 1953 1954 D 1956 1958 1958D 1959 1960 1961D 1962D 1963 1963D Report this Post to the Staff

IndianGoldEagle Bedrock of the Community United States 36744 Posts	Posted 06/18/2012 10:06 pm All dates you list have minimal collector value unless Uncirculated. All are worth their silver value. Report this Post to the Staff
Weezer1878 Valued Member United States 349 Posts	Posted 06/18/2012 10:18 pm Yeah, they are all circulated. This is probably the best looking one out of the bunch! Is it worth adding to the collection at all, possibly higher grades? Report this Post to the Staff
CelticKnot Bedrock of the Community United States 12822 Posts	Posted 06/19/2012 12:44 am Higher grades are always preferable. How high depends on your collection and how deep your pockets are. It's not a bad specimen for a circulated collection... Possibly cleaned. But either way, as everyone else mentioned, still worth its weight in Ag. I am putting a junk/circulated set together and what you have pictured there would work just fine for mine. Once that's complete I'll start pulling together UNC and proofs. Good luck!

IndianGoldEagle Bedrock of the Community United States 36744 Posts	Posted 06/19/2012 09:45 am I would just finish off the circulated set you have right now and put it away. Then start another set of uncirculated or EF-AU. I think Franklins are very under rated, no one knows for sure how many of them have been melted down. Report this Post to the Staff
