fromms2244 Valued Member United States 461 Posts	Posted 09/14/2012 7:13 pm The first thread I started was Franklin vs Ikes... Which to collect? The overwhelming response was to collect both. I started doing this, but I ran into a wonderful problem. Franklins have so many listed and unlisted varieties. So my question to the Franklin experts is... Which varieties (dd, type II, etc) are the most readily available to find? Which is going to last the test of time? Which unlisted, such as the type II 58 and 59, variety is going to be the next big thing? I think I am becoming a Franklin junkie.... Report this Post to the Staff

Earle42 Bedrock of the Community United States 10034 Posts	Posted 09/14/2012 8:24 pm I am not really a Franklin expert as I also am learning. Last spring I "finished" my Franklin collection by getting the 1955 Bugs Bunny. But then I found this gem: These were made by Daniel Carr - to make these he used a coin press he bought from the Denver mint. He stamped them onto actual Franklins. Here is a good website I hope to delve into deeper myself: http://www.franklinlover.yolasite.com/ How much squash could a Sasquatch squash if a Sasquatch would squash squash?

BadToTheBone Pillar of the Community United States 1795 Posts	Posted 09/14/2012 9:48 pm I collect Franklins and Ikes as well. Do as I did ...I started off getting all the proofs and silvers(only with the ikes). Then you go for the varieties only if you want them. All that is but icing on the cake. Especially getting the earlier Franklins in MS-64 or better will be hard enough. Of course all of this will be what are you willing to spend. The Eisenhower's will be much cheaper but you have your type 1 and 2. Errors are another story and another collecting direction to pursue. Report this Post to the Staff

Earle42 Bedrock of the Community United States 10034 Posts	Posted 09/15/2012 12:14 am I admit it would have been nice had I bought more as extras. He also said he was going to make a 1964 P, but he decided not to. It would have been nice to have both. I also got a 1970 (silver) Ike and a 1975 clad Ike (Eagle on moon REV - he made bicentennial REVs too). How much squash could a Sasquatch squash if a Sasquatch would squash squash?
