The Poe Collection of Franklin Halves - now at Great Collections!

[physics-fan3.14]

Just recently sent my entire Franklin collection (with a couple of exceptions) to Great Collections. Please take a look! This was a hard choice, but in order to finance my prooflike set, tough choices had to be made. Thanks!

 

Click on each picture to be taken to the auction for that coin.

Good Luck with the sale! I almost feel connected to your collection after watching all your posts over the years.

Thanks for the kind words, mtnstyne. It was tough to make the decision to sell this set, but I really need to. My PL set is becoming more and more involved, so I'm taking the funds from my Franklin's and putting them into the PLs.

Best of luck Jason. Great Collections has pretty darned good auction pictures. I know you'll do well.

Thanks for the kind comments, yonico. That 1951 is definitely worth making an exception for!

 

Other personal favorites of mine include the 1948 with that gorgeous subtle toning, the blazing luster of the 1949, and the unique striped toning of the 1960 reverse:

If you want to see alternate view of any of these coins, please look at my Registry set linked in my signature below. I was overall pleased with GC's pictures, but the toners did not receive the extra attention they really needed to bring out the colors.

Don't forget to bid!

 

I put in a couple of bids. Very best of luck with the sale, I know you put an incredible amount of hard work and intelligence into the building of this set, and I have really appreciated the scholarship with which you have listed your coins in the Registry Set.

 

Best Regards,

I have the same fear with my Registry Set of Kennedy half dollars. The first half of the set I had photographed by Todd Pollock of BluCC coins, and I intend to send him the second half someday before I dispose of the set. But I fear that the colors of any auction house will literally pale in comparison to what Todd has captured.

These all end tomorrow afternoon/evening. Get your bids in now, and take home a piece of the award winning Poe Collection!

[physics-fan3.14]

Just a few hours left. Good luck!

Dadgum, I missed out. One of the perils of being in Eastern Time. Oh well hope y'all did better than I!
