    Yes - I have the 3" medal from 1932. .Have twice missed out on the Assay medal that uses the same image. (1938, I believe) Sinnock never got to see his engraving on the 50C piece. He died in 1947. Humorous story ---- Sinnock originally just used his initials "JS" However - a good portion of the USA thought the initials stood for Joseph Stalin --- so Sinnock's 3 initials were used to calm the masses. Interesting thing ---- there's 150 million FEWER Franklin Halves than there are Morgan Dollars. As far as I'm concerned, there's huge opportunities for the Franklin Half to go up in collectability.

    Thanks!! The Caque is my most recent addition. It is top pop for its particular variety. I just picked up Greenslet's book of Franklin medals.... there's soo many!

    One of my nicer Franklin halves. I have 60+ graded examples, from every year and Mint. This one is arguably the best looking, although I have examples that score higher.

    I'm a Ben Franklin enthusiast. I have all the Franklin half varieties, (ngc graded), which for me is not a big deal. Have put a lot more time and money into amassing a collection of Greenslet cataloged medals.... The vast majority of my collection is not graded, although I have found a few nice NGC verified pieces in high grades. Where's s good place to find other Franklin philes?
