My Grandfather (now passed) always referenced the 'good ole days' (speaking of the 1950s era). I remember countless stories he shared with me as a child referencing: barber shops, dancing by the jukebox, late Friday night downtown shopping, local diners, and men wearing their fedoras. The 50s were undoubtedly a simpler time, and I decided to scratch my nostalgic itch by beginning my first graded set of Franklin halves. I think they will fit the bill! My first is a 1956 PF 66 Type 2 graded by PCGS. I will likely stay with proofs until the set is completed before moving to business strikes I'd also like to keep them all graded by PCGS (I know. but the coin not the slab), but I prefer a uniform 'slab' appearance as well.  This is my favorite purchased coin to date!   Edited by logantrky

That's a beauty of a coin, and a story! Great way to go about the collection too.

That's a beauty. Congratulations. The Franklin's are always my first recommendation for anyone trying to complete a series, regardless of their affordable grade range.

Agree with moxking.
Timeless coin, and in my opinion, one of the best to come out the mint!

Very nice coin. Thanks for sharing such a clean and clear pic. I am happy to have a Franklin in my collection. Only one at this time, though. An NGC slabbed Franklin from 62.
