so I recently sold my wii for $100 and asked a lot of you what I should do with it. well, I have recently started the Franklin series. just want to say, my coin shop is awesome! they had almost every year, BU in rolls I got to pick from! Paul, the coin guy, used the Grey sheet for the prices, and got me some great stuff! in amazing condition! by the way, some of the coins look like they have scratches or something, its the airtites.. these coins are immaculate! for $94 I got: a Dansco Album ($19.75) 1948-D $16   1950-D $20   1955-P $20   1956-P $9, yea thats right.. this coin UNDER MELT!   1958-P $9   Edited by SDcoinguy

Looks like you are well on your way to a very nice set of Franklins. Nice to have a coin shop that will help. $100.00 well spent!  |

that is a good find. I would have put it toward roll searching but whatever works for you. I want to start a Franklin series but dont have the funds or the time.

Those are very nice looking coins. This is inspiring to me to go ahead and finish the Franklin BU set that I had started about a year ago but never completed. Good job on the purchases!

Btw...take a close look at your last 1958-P. The reverse looks to me like a Type 2, which would mean you got one heck of a deal on it. Blowing up the pic of the 56 Franklin (Holding Ctrl button while scrolling up with mouse (Hit Ctrl + Zero to return to normal)) The 56 Franklin has 4 tips to the lower left wing. Maybe I'm wrong...take a look and see. |

i do see that it has 3 tips, so it would make it a type 2.. wow I didnt even go into the shop looking for these.. what would one be worth in this condition>

I've gotten mixed reactions from dealers. Some dont care for type 2 and buy/sell them just the same. But one dealer I sold some BU type 2 coins that I cherrypicked at a coin show paid I think somewhere around $15-20 each for them. I see that numismedia doesn't list type 2 separately but I think Coin World or Coin Values price guides do. |
