Description
Awe-Inspiring Deep Cameo Proof 1958 Half Dollar
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 detractions. The dense, satiny luster across the devices is contrasted dramatically by the bottomless and heavily mirrored fields. This represents the pinnacle of execution and preservation for the issue and is nothing short of a wonder-coin for the advanced specialist of the series. With only 875,652 Proof half dollars struck, the 1958 is the lowest mintage issue from the second half of the Franklin 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 in Proof-68. Very few have been certified at or above this level in the PCGS DCAM category, in fact, which makes this an irresistible offering for collectors that demand only the best.
PCGS Population: 5; 3 finer in this category (all Proof-69 Deep Cameo).
