Lot Description

A superior example of this popular Doubled Die Reverse variety. The surfaces are platinum-white and sport an all-brilliant finish across each side. Nicely reflective in the fields and entirely without flaws during in-hand viewing. The 1961 Doubled Die Reverse has a loyal following not only for its scarcity but for the strong doubling of the reverse, most easily noticed in the motto E PLURIBUS UNUM. It is, in fact, the strongest known Doubled Die in the Franklin series and is visible without magnification for those with rested eyes. This premium Gem represents an irresistible offering for advanced Franklin half dollar specialists.
