While the simplicity and open spaces of the design elements both obverse and reverse for the Franklin is not as appreciated as the WLH, it is much tougher to find in MS 67 and higher grades. Similar to the Peace dollar and Ike dollar in showing every mark or disfigurement on the open areas, it does take more education to appreciate these beautiful Franklin's. Once familiar, most collectors make a concerted effort to complete the best possible set their budget will allow. It will be even more appreciated by future collectors as the last complete larger coin set available in 90% silver.

Great halves so far, here's another proof cameo.   Just something about a proof cameo Franklin that really draws me.
