详细说明: Vividly Toned 1951 Franklin Half Dollar Among the Finest Certified in PCGS 1951 Franklin Half Dollar. MS-67 FBL (PCGS). CAC. This is a wonderfully original example whose richly toned, multicolored surfaces are suggestive of long term storage in a Mint Set holder. Both sides are fully frosted in finish with a sharp strike and virtually pristine appearance. Circulation strike half dollar production at the Philadelphia Mint in 1951 amounted to 16,802,102 coins. Surprisingly for a 20th century U.S. Mint issue with a generous mintage, the 1951 is scarce in Mint State, especially in original roll quantity. Superb Gems with Full Bell Lines are "Extremely rare," per series specialist Rick Tomaska in the 2018 edition of A Guide Book of Franklin & Kennedy Half Dollars. Indeed, the beautiful example offered here is among the finest known to PCGS and would serve as a highlight in an advanced Franklin half dollar set.
