Hey Stef, I want to see a few more of your Frankies.
I know you have some beauties.
While Frankies can and do come with some amazing colors, I still like this look.
This is the way so many Frankies tend to tone on their own. I was going to crack this one
out but decided that I don't want this one to tone further. I like this look.

Some coins are just plain "interesting"

I sold most if not all of my slabbed Frankies, but I still have my Capital holder.
I haven't quite finished putting the new ones in but here are a few shots.

That was one heck of a score Stef.
In 20 truly unopened sets you might get lucky and find one or two potential CAM's from that era.
Looks like you hit a jackpot.
Congrats. Are you going to send those in to PCGS?
If so please let us know how they grade.
