A nice set you have there. I have a Franklin half set accumulated when I was young with many circulated examples. Then I have a proof cameo set still short the 50 and 51. The Capps albums are growing on me but I am reluctant in breaking up proof sets. |

That's a really nice set. The CAPS album makes it look even better.
I'm wondering, with a direct fit air-tite, can you make out the edge of the coin at all?

Nice set! I like the toning on some and the way the proofs stand out...

Another very nice album I am very impressed with the quality of the coins you are filling these Caps albums with. You are making a very good case for switching to Caps. |

Thanks everybody!  I was born in 1956 and silver was obviously still circulating. My Grandpa always had a Franklin or two in his pocket and as a very young child I remember picking one up and just holding and looking at it. That may have been when I developed the "bug" to collect coins. So Franklin halves are kinda special to me. Which is why I wanted to also have the proofs. And 1950 is the "chosen" year to start proofs in CAPS albums so that worked out well also. |

Wow those are beautiful! It must be pure joy to have these and your caps JFK set out to peruse at the same time. Blank spaces though - maybe some MS Bugs Bunny coins? Type I and Type II 1958, 1959, and 1956 (56 is proof)? Or maybe the Carr overstrike?   How much squash could a Sasquatch squash if a Sasquatch would squash squash?
