Cotton candy Franklin.

11 posts in this topic

It's high summer, so that makes me think of County fairs and traveling carnivals and cotton candy. Here's one of my all time favorite Franklins, with a hot pink and robin's egg blue set of colors (amongst others) that make me think of cotton candy at the fair. Hot pink is a very rare color for Frankies, but there is no question in my mind that this coin is indeed NT. This has proven to be a very tough coin to image to get the luster and the color, so here are three different images taken respectively by Laura D., Lablover and Kryptonitecomics. The third image is the closest to actual color, but it doesn't capture the luster as well. The coin is a 1958-D NGC MS66*, and IMHO should be FBL.

Wow Sy!!! That baby is just loaded with color. I would love to tour your art studio. :devil: Your collection of toned Frankies is nothing short of SPECTACULAR. I absolutely love them. (worship) (worship)

This one is a Monster!! Just a hunch I bet I could nail this coin as you see it. I really like all the other images. Shane's image is very cool! Laura D. and Lablover do great work as well! Thanks for sharing!

Thanks guys! Glad you like it. I'll probably be creating a Signature Set of 1958 (P and D) Franklins on the NGC Signature Registry around early September.

 

 

EDITED TO ADD: Hmmm, I did not add that link, it self created itself. It is just a link to the reg!stry, not to any specific collection.

Yeah I followed it and was wondering why you linked it. I thought you had started something so I clicked it. I thought we turned autolinking off...

that is a colorful frankie, i like it. As for FBL, I can't see it well enough to make a definite opinion, but it appears like there is some weakness on the lower set of lines to the left of the crack.
