Nice. I wouldn’t think it would be worth slabbing unless it was FBL. I’ve seen some PCGS graders who were in a bad mood not give the FBL designation because of a contact mark.

I have always been fond of the Franklin design. It’s not as beautiful as the Walking Liberty, but there is something in the symmetry of it that is very pleasing to the eye.

Taking a good picture of a coin is no easy task. I’ll show you my pride and joy Franklin. I didnt setup my lighting, but I snapped these with my phone as I was running out the door this morning. 1950 gem proof, slight cameo obverse, full cameo reverse. Only 51,000 made, and very few have made it to the graders.

My favorites are the Walking Libs. and the early commemoratives. Oregan Trail and the Long Island designs are awesome with the right amount of toning, such as the Franklin above.

You people make me sick! Living in DC is killing me. I can't wait to move back to God's country!

On a positive note, I'm in Sarasota until Sunday! Staying at the Ritz Carlton Wednesday thru Sunday.

So, unbeknownst to each other, my wife and my son's girlfriend bought me the same goofy gift for Christmas.
