    May the real Franklin standup
    I just purchased a complete collection of the 1956 NGC PF68 penny thru half dollar. They are in the older NGC holders. I noticed that the franklin doesn't have marked Type 1 or Type 2. My question is....is there a plain 1956 Franklin that isn't either a Type 1 or 2? and what is the diffence between those types? Thanks!

    Now that the new dollars are out...
    It appears that ignorance once again rules the novice coin collector. Now that the new dollars are out, everyones looking for those "error" coins and guess what...There are buyers for the incuse lettering with some being upside down. Fools and their money soon part....What ever happened to integity???...Anyways.....I have land in Florida to sell too!!

    Went thru a few boxes only to find a few worth grading.
    After 5 boxes of "P" dollars looking for that infamous edgeless coin and taking time to pick out a few that was worth grading. I figured I had one MS67 and the rest MS66. I was correct on all of them except one MS65. My eyes must have tricked me again...
    Being from a small populated area in Wisconsin, the banks don't get the new coins in right away, making it impossible to ever get that gem MS67FD. I think there's too much weight put on FD when its the same grade as the rest. Making it more a rich mans game to play than the normal guy.
    So, I finally broke down and started my registry on some dollars. SBA....I will never be number one that list.... I do feel pretty good being ranked 3 on the Presidential dollars for now. Now, I must start taking photos of these coins too. I never knew how energized one can get when you start competing with other collectors. I thought I bought too much before but now....I think I can cut back on gas, lights and food to squeeze out a few more purchases....God HELP me!!!

    No Respect for one Susan B Anthony dollar coin
    My life and times for me is a dark and unrespectful journey. I was first born with several other millions just like me. Except early on, my creator had decided to recreate me to be more pleasing to the beholder and make my rim larger. To me I think my cousins looked just fine the way they were. I had been given a special status....or least my creator called me special. Along the way, we were all given homes, some in nice warm cloth homes and others in these tight paper tunnels....some called them rolls. I believe I must have been asleep for quite some time and not sure what happened but somehow my siblings were gone. I found myself trapped with some different coins and not at all similar to me other than the same size. Then one day after being stored away for years, some nice person or I call him my new owner, brought me home. He went though roll after roll before he discovered me. We were equally delighted. My new owner sent me away to this nice honorable place or least I thought so at first, to have me graded. Once again, I was disrepected and placed in a wrong holder and grade and sent back to my new owner. He was upset and emailed the people responsible for this mishap. He sent me away again and once again they placed me in a wrong holder and grade. After a few more angry emails and phone calls, I was sent away again and finally I was in my new home except, what my owner still believes, is the wrong grade. I am in route back to my owner and hopefully I will stay. I don't know about you but its not easy being a SBA wide rime coin. And for the readers, the moral of the story, never give up and stand up for what you believe is right regardless of the grading company!
