Lot Description

Pristine surfaces are free of both toning and even the most trivial grade-limiting blemishes. They allow ready appreciation of exceptionally strong field to device contrast that delivers outstanding eye appeal. In his 2023 reference <em>A Guide Book of Franklin & Kennedy Half Dollars</em>, Rick Tomaska offers this observation regarding the Proof 1955: "As a point of reference, in more than 30 years of hunting for cameo Franklin halves, I have personally located perhaps two or three examples from original Proof sets that were subsequently graded ultra or deep cameo by NGC or PCGS." This is the finest in this category that we have offered in more than a decade - a fleeting opportunity that deserves the utmost in attention from Proof Franklin half dollar collectors.
