详细说明: 1952 Franklin Half Dollar. Proof-66 Deep Cameo (PCGS). CAC. An incredible Proof Franklin half dollar irrespective of date, this is a truly remarkable example of the third year 1952 issue. Not only are the fields deeply mirrored, but the devices are softly frosted and stand out with marked cameo contrast. Untoned throughout and expertly preserved, this coin would serve as a highlight in the finest collection of Franklin half dollars or modern U.S. Mint Proof coinage. The Philadelphia Mint produced 81,980 Proof half dollars in 1952. Quality control was superior to that observed for the Proof 1950 and 1951 issues, most examples displaying deeply mirrored fields from having been coined from fresh dies. Additionally, the earlier problems with glue stains due to careless packaging are also gone. Yet even so, the Proof 1952 is still a significant strike and condition rarity in the finest Deep/Ultra Cameo grades. Given that we have offered few examples of this issue that are even remotely comparable to this beauty, strong bids are in order here. PCGS Population: 8; 2 finer in this category (Proof-67 Deep Cameo finest). CAC Population: 7; 0. PCGS# 96693. NGC ID: 27VC. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
