Lot Description

An otherwise pinkish-silver beauty with warmer autumn-orange iridescence engaging the lower and left obverse borders and drifting toward the left reverse rim. This is an uncommonly well made 1960-D half dollar, with universally sharp definition throughout the design. This issue combines the strike rarity of the 1960 Philadelphia Mint half dollar with the heavily abraded surfaces of a Denver Mint Franklin precluding the survival of a large number of Full Bell Lines Gems. This PCGS MS-66+ FBL is one of the most outstanding examples, a coin that would serve with distinction in any advanced collection.
