Art Posted December 6, 2009 Report Share Posted December 6, 2009 Nice commemorative. Is the color in the picture off or does it really have that great golden tone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr B Posted December 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2009 Hi Art , its just my quick hatchet job on the lighting.The ship obverse is a true indication of its colour.I do have several Franklins that are genuinely golden though , my columbians are a lavender which is just amazing.

thedeadpoint Posted December 6, 2009 Report Share Posted December 6, 2009 I see your thread there to make a set Yeah, you inspired me to make the thread. Many of the collectors here have some gorgeous commemoratives. I think that we all could complete 90% of the set with all but the rarest dates ($50 Panama Exposition, etc) spoken for.

Mr B Posted December 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2009 Its a cool idea for what will be a eyepopping thread , do you propose we go in order of issue ? If so we need an Isabella quarter from 1893 and a Lafayette dollar from 1901 both of which have eyepopping pricetags too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need to find a good list that clearly denotes what the order is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
