Hi Addict, I need a fix, too! I recently got a 1950 that completed my set in Cameo Proof. I love Cameo Proof Franklins. I have a half dozen in DCAM but can not afford a complete set. I love your MS set. New Sub #256

Nice start on your slab set. They now make plastic pages for your slabbed coins. If you're like me, I make my own albums using 2x2 and slab pages.

Nice, I like Franklin halfs, also working on a Kennedy set. Over 200 dates, mints,clad, silver, proofs, NIFCs,etc..finding much more fun than I thought at first. I also keep my coins in pages. Been collecting since 1962.

Nice video. I just picked up a couple American Eagles and two Walking Liberties from my little Coin / Jewelry and Watch shop. Picked up a couple Franklin's and a few Walking Liberties last week. Your 1917 D is my Dads Birthday year ! Love the Onza Libertads, I have a few also and would love more since they are such a beautiful coin. Thanks for sharing ✌

I have hundreds of Benny's in my constitutional silver pile. All of my silver is from 1955-1964 when I had multiple paper routes of those years and collected silver coins to pay for their newspaper. I have over 3,000 dollars in silver coins. Ben and John halfs George Quarters Merc and Rosey dimes. I am 77 and was 8-17 years old as a newspaper boy. Here is some irony April 65 was my last month as a paperboy. May 65 I graduated from trade high school. June 65 I joined the Army. By March 66 I was 18 flying helicopters in Vietnam at a MACV-SOG special forces base in Quang Tri province.

@bgs9man 7 ай бұрын

The answer is quit simple why your Franklin did not get a cac sticker. CAC only sticker coins that are solid for the grade. If the coin is at the lower end of the grade the coin won’t CAC. In another word there is a grade within a grade at each level. Is this ms65 at the low end of just barely making it to the 65 level, or was it right in the middle of a 65 level graded coin, or is it in the high level of 65 almost making it to the 66 level. Lower levels within the grade does not get a CAC sticker. Hope this helps.

@FranklinHalfAddict 7 ай бұрын

Thanks for the info. I’m aware of the whole ABC thing. To me, the 1957 is about as nice a 65 as you’ll ever see. So there’s some other reason than it being low end for the grade, because I’m 99.99% sure that’s not the reason. Eventually I’ll have it sent back in because I’m very curious about what they didn’t like.

@maxvan11 7 ай бұрын

Good eye! I’ll have to take a closer look when I get home later. I do agree on the toning, it is a little funny. I don’t know if artificial toning was a big thing back when this was graded. Who knows.

@fatlostmedia1376 8 ай бұрын

for the 1957 FBL its because of the surfaces of the coin. Im A CAC member (4682*). Its because over years it has developed 100%. Im also a franklin guy i have over 100 graded and all the proofs etc. The coin would need to be removed from the holder and restored/dipped/conserved etc. its a gorgeous coin nonetheless, would just take more work and money or more effort to make it perfect. Which it is possible to have the coin restored. Worth a shot if your using it for a rregistry set, or just getting a better version of the coin. Hope this help.

@FranklinHalfAddict 8 ай бұрын

Because of the toning? I have many fully toned coins that are approved by CAC.

I EDC a 21' Morgan without any serious numismatics value but great details to show curious people or an Eagle but keep the eagle in a capsule. Been recently carrying around a 2023 dragon coin bar but only because I ended up flipping one just because I had it on me at the time. Always nice making a little profits and putting the cash into increasing the stack/collection. Great video and coins mate. Have a great week 🙂

Unfortunately don't have coin shows around here and I'm never sure if a price on eBay is good or not. Any pointers on finding a good deal for something that isn't a crazy year? I don't plan on selling but id still like to know I'm not paying above what it's worth on and eBay auction. don't have a lot of cash but my love of numismatics is seriously growing.
