Franklin Set Complete!

AarowsAndRays, it was the '55. I paid a bit extra for it because it was clearly much better than plain ol' circulated. In fact it looks like it might have come out of someone's album and gotten a little toning in it before being broken up and sold individually (and put right back into an album! :) )

Pictures coming up shortly.

@Bizybackson: I definitely intend to do set #2 as you suggest. In fact I may promote the '55 in my current folder and look for its replacement in more circulated condition.

@upstate: yes, it really is a heavy album for just two pages, and I love it. Hooray, silver! :) And since this set is mostly junk, it's really just a gussied-up investment. :)

@jbuck and smokeriderdon: How do these grab you for circulated? (Most of) these babies have some serious wear on them.

@EgCollector: I posted in the "wanted" section here on CCF and was able to knock out 3 Franks out of 4 that I needed. That's a great option always and I have extras and would consider making a trade or deal if you want to discuss.

@Everyone Else: Thanks so much for your comments and praise. It's so much fun to complete a set and know that you're part of a group that appreciates the effort, care, and time involved in compiling a set, even an easy one like this. Y'all are awesome!

nice collection and congrats on your completing a full set, feels great doesn't it

With the five extra holes in your dansco you could add a few proofs. Most of the later issues are inexpensive and the cameos are beautiful.

Congratulations...Always a nice feeling to complete a set you've been working on. Well Done!

Wonderful ... congratulations on the full set and .

I as well am a big fan of circulated coins ... truly enjoy the history behind them.

CelticKnot, thought I'd share my set of Franklins with you (and the group). The business strike have all seen some use (even the 1955 - got it in change a few years back) and the proofs are in the lower grades, but they look good to me.
