SkyMan Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 WOW, Jason, that is a honking toner from 1950! It's a little hard to see from the toning, but that looks like a D too. Sa-Weet!!! Getting a nice toner, P or D, from 1950 is a Bear. I'm sure that you know this, but for the others that are reading this thread, there were no mint sets made during 1950, so finding a nicely toned Franklin from that year is a "female dog". Given that this is a MS65FBL you definitely hit gold Jason! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given that this is a MS65FBL you definitely hit gold Jason! Yes, it is a 50D. I'm glad you approve I bought it from greattoning on the Bay. I was actually bidding on a couple of other things and didn't notice this one until an hour before closing, so it was a bit of an impulse buy. I'll just go ahead and post a pic of the ones that I lost: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkyMan Posted July 2, 2010 Share Posted July 2, 2010 Wow, that '82-S is COOL!!! OTOH I believe the '22-S is AT. I was a chauffeur for my younger daughter (17) today as my eldest had the other car. I ended up having to "waste" about an hour of time so I hit a B&M to look through their raw Franklins. I'm supposed to be giving a talk on toning to the San Jose Coin Club in a couple of weeks. One of the aspects of 1960 (and 1959) Franklins is that some will get a parallel linear toning pattern that no one knows exactly how it comes about. I found an enjoyable 1960 Franklin in MS64ish with pleasant NT peripheral album toning that showed this pattern quite well. I'm going to be using this piece in conjunction with some slabbed 1959 and 1960 Franklin pieces to show how to discern AT from NT. As a bonus, in the dealer's doubled row 2 x 2 box of halves, after the 1963-D Franklins came 1964 Kennedys. I found a pleasing 2 sided cameo '64 Kennedy proof with very clean fields, but a couple of noticeable marks... a satisfying coin to find raw. Both coins together cost me $22.

123cents Posted July 4, 2010 Share Posted July 4, 2010 Those are some beautiful and colorful toners! I just got this common date Buffalo Nickel today that I really like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tejas1836 Posted July 4, 2010 Share Posted July 4, 2010 Nice 38-D buffalo nickel. I've bought two 38-D nickels this past year myself; a PCGS and a NGC. I like them too even though they are common. Bought this 57-S double eagle this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coagman Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 That is a beautiful 1857-S double eagle—very nice for a non-shipwreck coin. I saw that one offered and agree it looks very conservatively graded. Congratulations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JIM F. Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 (edited) Nice pickup everyone. I just bought this NGC PF-65 RB Indian, for under $500 == which I think is a good price point for this series. Edited July 12, 2010 by jimbucks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lehigh96 Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 Okay guys, this is a big one for my collection. The steps are really pretty decent with the normal exception under the 3rd pillar. I was stunned with how clean this coin given the grade until I saw the luster in hand. The obverse is basically flat with no luster and the reverse is muted but pleasant. This is one of those coins where you just can't have it all. The population is so low that beggars can't be choosers. Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elbesaar Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 Here's another SLQ I picked up at FUN last weekend - this came from Angel Dee's - and Andy and Alynne were nice to talk to and very pleasant. They kept apologising for not having images on their web site - but - I certainly did like everything they had on display.

I probably have purchased 50-60% of my collection from them (probably 80% of my type set). I have total confidence in them. They're searching for IHC's for me to complete my set.
