Description du lot

Softly frosted design elements and reflective fields are seen on both sides of this silver-tinged specimen. The 1959 is the most challenging Proof Franklin half dollar of the 1954 to 1963 era to locate with a cameo finish. Rick Tomaska (2023) opines that fewer than 1% of the mintage of 1.1 million pieces exhibits enough contrast to support a Cameo designation from the leading certification services. This coin ranks as an important highlight among the extensive Franklin half dollar offerings in this sale.<p>
