ElonU Pillar of the Community United States 703 Posts	Posted 02/05/2016 10:09 pm Franklins are my favorite coins off all time. Just simply a gorgeous design! You cats have me searching for DDs a plenty now. Through all my Franklin half collecting, I never really cared to try and snag any of these, until I visited this forum. But, I'm now the proud owner of this bad boy, a gorgeous graded DDR Franklin. Not the highest graded by any means, but one with stunning eye appeal, and eye appeal for an affordable price is what I go for. Just a HAIR short of FBL too.....

Justinwd Valued Member United States 311 Posts	Posted 02/05/2016 11:05 pm Nice. I'm working on a set of Franklin's, I'm about half way done. And I agree Franklin's are beautiful. Report this Post to the Staff

Far as beautiful though, I've got to go with the Walkers, Mercs, and Libery Standing quarters. Edited by CoinMasters 02/05/2016 11:30 pm Report this Post to the Staff

moxking Rest in Peace United States 17900 Posts	Posted 02/06/2016 1:44 pm With all the free space on the Franklin it's beautiful in high grade and loses its beauty rather quickly as the marks increase. Report this Post to the Staff
CoinMasters Pillar of the Community United States 5964 Posts	Posted 02/06/2016 11:26 pm I agree Moxking, I never really thought about that till you mentioned it, but very true. True with other denominations with large fields as well. Now that I think about it, that's reflected in a lot of the Red Zones in the grading system - above and below the Jefferson's Monticello, to name one. Fortunately the OP's coin is well within.
