Lot Description

1953 Franklin Half Dollar. Proof-69 (NGC). At the threshold of numismatic perfection, this gorgeous Superb Proof Franklin half dollar really needs to be seen to be fully appreciated. Serene surfaces retain full mint brilliance, while modest field-to-device contrast provides somewhat of a cameo appearance on both sides. Sharply struck, expertly preserved, and just right for the finest Proof type or date set. From a mintage of 128,800 Proofs, very few of which can rival this coin in terms of either quality or eye appeal. Provenance: From the Pittstown Collection. Combined PCGS and NGC Population: 16; 0 finer in this category. There are also no Proof-70 Cameo or Proof-70 Deep/Ultra Cameo specimens certified. PCGS# 6694. NGC ID: 27VD.
