The HepKitty loves Franklins...

[LucyBop]

I never did announce myself, sorry. I'm Lucille, some know me from the PCGs forums, I have been here alot reading some great info. I collect comics and will be posting in those forums. I love music from the 1950s and have been running one of the most popular real audio websites in the country for this type of music. I travel all around the country looking for music, meeting musicians and looking for coins. I will be traveling to Portland Oregon this weekend and I hope to make a coin show in Tacoma, Washington next Saturday. I love Franklin halves!!!!! Oh Ben sure is SEXY!!!!!!!!! He just sends Lucy out of this world Daddy-o! Did I say I love and LIVE the 1950s???

Welcome across -- here's the last Franklin I managed to get:

 

[LucyBop]

Some nice rainbow toning, did this baby grade ms66? Clean fields with what may be a slight nick on Frankies head.... I love it!

[Oldtrader3]

I also just purchased a 1960-DFBL, MS65, picture attached.

[LucyBop]

I like it, a very nice GEM! Lucy only has a ms64fbl in that year.

[Clankeye-migration]

Yes, indeed. I like that Franklin too Oldtrader. What's up with your icon, the Washington? Is it yours? What's the date? Can't get a good enough look at it.

 

Welcome to Lucy. I may actually go to that Tacoma show. That's my neck of the woods.

Carl.

The Quarter is a 1958-D, MS66. The reverse is really much nicer than the obverse. I have attached a scan for your viewing pleasure.

[Oldtrader3]

I will also attach the front of my quarter in greater scale. Yes, the quarter is mine. I purchased the quarter from www.cameocc.com about a month ago. He had 2 of them.

[keithdagen]

It's a 58-D, MS-66FBL.

[keithdagen]

Reverse.

 

[Oldtrader3]

It is a tough year and the MS65FBL's are rather expensive. Thanks for the comment.

[davefperry]

Nice coins. And cheer up Lucy. Rough life there with the travel, music and coins

Nice to see you on this side of the road, hipster.

[LucyBop]

Seeing some 'nice', 'strong', FULL bell lines makes Lucy's knees wobble and gives me goose pimples! AWESOME Daddy-o!

[Oldtrader3]

Great coin, Keith. I bet we can not buy these two for $25.00!

 

I also just bought a 1961 MS65 (see attachment) that is pretty clean. The stuff on the shoulder is junk trapped in the PCGS holder.

[Oldtrader3]

Got to go use my ventilator (I have a sinus infection). I'll be back later. Attached is the reverse of the 1961-P Franklin.

[LucyBop]

After looking at all these wonderful Frankies, I think I need a hit off of that ventilator!

[braddick]

The more I learn about these Franklins and the more pretty ones I see the more I admire them.

Cool coins.

Thanks for comin' over Lucy! Hope you enjoy the space...

Oldtrader3--

Thanks for the scans of the 58-D Washington. I like that coin a lot! Funny, I just had a 58-D slab 67 at PCGS this week. I pulled it straight out of a mint set. The toning is wild. I think it bumped it a grade, because I thought it might even get a 65. But, I'm a paranoid grader I find. I should be getting it back in the mail today. I can't wait to see it again. I will get it photographed and post a picture when I have one. Judging by your coin, this one would also be right up your alley.

In other news, I just purchased a 52 Wash/Carver set, all coins NGC 65 this morning. I am real excited about that. The 52-D's are tough to find nice. This one looks pretty good.

Lucy-- you should really get into the Carver series, being the child of the 50's you are. If you can learn to appreciate Ben, you can get behind George W and Booker T too.

Would someone please post a Bugs Bunny Franklin with a close up detail on the mouth? TIA

[Clankeye-migration]

Trozau--

An Aqualung icon! God, I love it. Sorry can't help you with the pic. But, had to comment on the icon.

Clank

[trozau]

Hey, looks like I lost the 'poor old sod' and went back to my previous stretched coin icon.

 

Edited: Got it back.

[Oldtrader3]

I can not help you with the Bugs Bunny Franklin. Maybe one of the other posters can help. Sorry,

[davefperry]

This is the best pic I could find. Try to ignore the holder.

[trozau]

Dave,

 

Mucho thanks! I had to do a quick look at the 1958 just to compare the difference. I'll be on the lookout for 1 of those.

[davefperry]

Da Nada.

[trozau]

I just snagged me one of them Bugs Bunny on eBay. I don't really know how much they should go for, so I don't know how I did.

[IrishMike]

Clankeye, I WANT that quarter.

[keithdagen]

Pat,

 

The Franklin I posted was courtesy of the gentleman down the street from you. One of his e-mail specials, and very nice to deal with.

[Oldtrader3]

Keith: Sorry for the late reply, but I am having problems with Heart Failure, again, so I have been missing stuff on the board. Which coin were you asking about? The Franklin is a MS65FBL 1960-D. The 1958-D is the quarter that I am using in my ID. Does this answer your question?
