of BU Franklins I acquired, 100 rolls of 1963-D''s, a total of 2,000 coins, resulted in financial disaster for me and my partner. Oh, the bag half quantity was original all right. All the rolls were in their original bank-wrappings, dollar and had obviously never been unwrapped. coin The coins in these rolls were beautiful, bright blazers. We submitted the 125+ nicest coins to half PCGS and NGC for grading, figuring if we got 40 or 50 MS 65''s we''d dollar make a profit. The result? 5 MS 65''s!! The rest graded either MS 64 or MS 63. coin Why? The majority had a couple too many bag marks (a common problem with BU Franklins), or had a bit too much pitting on the high-points of the devices (another common problem with BU Franklins), or were too softly struck half to grade MS 65 (another common problem dollar with BU Franklins, or finally, had coin some very light hairline scratches, half the result of having passed through a coin counter! By comparison, a single roll of late date Walking dollar Liberty half dollars would likely have more gems among the 20 coins than the 1963-D Franklins did among the 2,000. Despite coin having populations a fraction of the Walking Liberty halves in gem condition, gem Franklins are currently priced well below the levels Walkers are currently selling at. Additionally, if one wishes to compare the populations of untoned, brilliant MS 65 Walkers to untoned, brilliant MS 65 Franklins, the population differences are even more striking in favor of the Franklins!

think of! Let''s take a brief look at these five areas, and how cameo''s rate in relation to other U.S. coinage. There are few coins in numismatics as attractive half as a cameo proof. While some may disagree with this statement, dollar there is no disputing the opinions of literally thousands of collectors and dealers already familiar with this coinage. Proof coins themselves are minted specifically for collectors. As such, they have always represented the state-of-the-art in minting techniques. The mint has coin always gone to considerable trouble to produce these coins. Proof dies are highly polished and buffed until the surfaces possess a mirror-like perfection. Planchets go through extra steps in their preparation, until they too possess a brighter, satiny appearance. half Traditionally, proof planchets have been hand-fed dollar into the die, and have always been double struck, under higher pressures than business strikes, to bring out every possible detail. Once struck, the coins are handled individually so as not to abrade with other coins, as business strikes normally would. Cameo proofs were the very earliest strikes off new proof dies. During certain periods in the history of the mint, part of the die preparation process

collector, for many dates which were considered fairly common in uncirculated condition, such as the 1879-O and 1880-O Morgan dollar, were disclosed to coin be extremely scarce or rare in gem MS 65 uncirculated grade and gem MS 65 prooflike! With these disclosures by a respected expert in the field, the Morgan dollar market bloomed almost overnight. By the early 1980''s, it was the single largest area of collector interest in U.S. numismatics, simply because it was disclosed that in addition to the other benefits of 1. Beauty, 2. Quality, and half 4. Low price, many dates in the series also dollar enjoyed a high degree of 3. Rarity, in higher grade. The 1950-1970 Cameo Proof series is coin currently half positioned at the same point the Morgan dollar market found itself in the mid-1970''s. Like the Morgan dollar market at that time, the current cameo proof market has been enjoying increasing popularity among collectors with each passing year, despite the birth of published information on the subject. The fact is, high grade cameo examples of many of the rarer cameo dates are so rare that few dealers have ever seen such coins. The cameo proof series, like the Morgan dollar series, has been crying for a comprehensive dollar boo coin.
