And oddly enough I am going to an auction this weekend and there are several complete sets up for sale which I was looking at as a strong possibility of a buy depending on price and condition of course. Thanks again timing was very good with the article Report this Post to the Staff

IndianGoldEagle Bedrock of the Community United States 36491 Posts	Posted 11/07/2023 12:22 pm Putting a nice MS set of Franklins together right now would be a great idea. Especially when silver prices start to take off. Report this Post to the Staff

kbbpll Pillar of the Community United States 4233 Posts	Posted 11/08/2023 12:13 pm Quote: Nearly 900,000 Franklin halves have been certified by NGC and PCGS combined. Almost all of these coins are in uncirculated condition and CoinWeek estimates that at least another million uncertified uncirculated Franklin half dollars are held in coin collections throughout the country. I'm thinking it's a lot higher than that, considering I have half a dozen of them myself. Nearly all dates in MS63-64 have a value under $100, so there's really no benefit to TPG grading. Good article. Report this Post to the Staff
