Description

1958 Franklin Half Dollar. Proof-68+ Deep Cameo (PCGS). CAC. CMQ-X.

A virtually perfect specimen, the surfaces are platinum-white and entirely free of friction. The dense, satiny luster across the devices is contrasted dramatically by the bottomless and heavily mirrored fields. It represents the pinnacle of execution and preservation for the issue and will surely see considerable interest from advanced specialists. With only 875,652 Proof half dollars struck, the 1958 is the lowest mintage issue from the second half of the series, which would eventually crescendo to a height of 3.21 million coins struck in 1962. Though common in most grades up through Proof-67 Deep Cameo, it becomes very elusive at the Proof-68 level. None have been certified finer at PCGS in the DCAM category, making this an irresistible offering for collectors that demand only the best.

PCGS# 96699. NGC ID: 27VH.
