GTALLEN Valued Member United States 315 Posts	Posted 08/26/2011 12:49 pm Here are mine. I want to see your Franklin halves. Mine is a mix of Proofs and UNC. I know that when President Kennedy was assassinated, it was the end of the Franklin half. I know we used to change the design of our coinage fairly often. I think after the 50th anniversary of the President's assassination, the Kennedy half should be retired, with an exceptional last special edition. Just my humble opinion, that will most likely never come to fruition. A new half dollar to collect would be nice. Report this Post to the Staff

LowLife Valued Member United States 368 Posts	Posted 08/26/2011 1:52 pm nice looking Franklins! I'm doing a set in AU right now....it's going slowly. Franklins are $15 each at a bare minimum....did you find a 1955 Bugs Bunny yet? I have a 1955 standard right now, but I may add the Bugs Bunny if I get one for a good price.

TNG Bedrock of the Community United States 10284 Posts	Posted 08/26/2011 1:55 pm Your set is very nice. I also included the silver Kennedy halves in mine ( not shown ) up until 1970 D in this set. I have a other duplicates but this is a well struck set. I used to keep it in a dansco but arrested any further toning or slide window damage by putting them in AirTites. I am not a fan of albums for my coins but I do like seeing coins in them. Figure that out? Report this Post to the Staff

GTALLEN Valued Member United States 315 Posts	Posted 08/26/2011 3:08 pm They look very nice in a Whitman. I can imagine an all Proof set in a Whitman folder. That would be incredible. Report this Post to the Staff

Gyrene7483 Pillar of the Community United States 1704 Posts	Posted 08/27/2011 04:55 am Very nice sets. When I was in high school I was fortunate enough to have a dealer who let me pick the best coin from each roll of a complete roll set a woman was selling her at the rate of three to four rolls a month. I no longer have that set and am building a new set in a Littleton album which includes the proofs. I'll post pictures of the ones I have next week. Ed ANA LM-3175 Report this Post to the Staff
thecoinczar Valued Member United States 455 Posts	Posted 08/27/2011 10:01 am Very impressive collections guys. I love the Franklin half dollars and have several of my own, but not to the extent that you have in your folders and albums! Report this Post to the Staff
