I finally got my last few coins to complete Franklin collection. All coins are BU however, I would like to upgrade a couple. Thought I would show my last coin which I believe I got an excellent deal on. I will try to focus on completing the proofs.

Nice! Are you going for "regular" proofs, or Cameos?

Thanks for all the kind words. I am pretty happy with overall quality of the set. Took me longer then expected because I suffer from a lack of collecting focus.

jimbucks, I have a few regular proofs already so will probably stick with that. I love the look of those cameo coins but the price is pretty steep especially on the earlier ones.

Way to go! I love Franklins, they're my favorite. Be sure and show us your proofs and by the way, are you looking at getting any Bugs Bunnys?
I can remember how rich we felt when Grandpa gave us kids a Franklin to spend at the store. Back then we could buy enough goodies to keep us happy for the entire day and have change (a silver Rosy or maybe a nickel and a couple of wheaties) left over.

Here are my proofs so far. Sorry pics aren't the best. Some look scratched but it is the case not the coin.

Congrades to that. Are you putting them in Albums or keeping them in slabs?
