1st coin purchase of 2012, Monster Frankie!!!!

Post Tue Jan 24, 2012 11:21 am

I shared this with Rigo yesterday but nobody else got to see it on here so...


The date and mint mark are known for monster toned examples and this one is right up there with some of the finest I have seen so it's nice to add a beauty like this to my collection. :Beatingheart; :Beatingheart; :Beatingheart;

BTW Shane, When you showed me the coins, I told Chris I wouldn't be surprised if it was a FBL. And indeed, it is now that I see the slab pics.
