Just finishing up my Franklin efforts and here's just a little teaser. Hope to get the Dansco spiffed up and photos taken in the next day or two. I LOVE Franklins!

I'm about there on the Franklin album, except for some odds and ends to fill in the second page blanks. IMO Franklin halves are undervalued and under-appreciated. I plan on keeping this one, along with my Type Set, 'til the cows come home.

Whoa! I love them too. I have three sets started and at different stages of completion. I really like how you added related comems and medals. As to Collection or Obsession......who cares if it is an obsession! I say if it feels good, do it! (Not to mention they're made of my favorite metal.)

I am working on my own set of uncirculated Franklins, and though mine are not as nice as yours, your set is an inspiration to keep going! I love the proofs, commmemoratives, and medals you have added as well!
