Lot Description

1961-D Franklin Half Dollar. MS-66 FBL (PCGS). Light, gently mottled sandy-silver iridescence drifts over both sides, but yields to virtual brilliance as the coin dips into a light. A fleeting bidding opportunity in light of Rick Tomaska's (2018) observation that the 1961-D is "another very rare Franklin date in MS-66 - with or without bell lines." PCGS Population: 39; 2 finer in this category (both MS-66+ FBL). PCGS# 86681. NGC ID: 24TP. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
