This is a virtually pristine example with charming silver-lilac toning that yields to blushes of champagne-gold here and there at the borders. Highly lustrous with a silky smooth appearance, razor sharp striking detail is also a praiseworthy attribute. The 1959 has a generous mintage of 6,200,000 circulation strike, survivors of which are nonetheless elusive in grades above the MS-65 level, with or without an FBL designation. In the latter category, and at the Superb Gem level of preservation, the 1959 is "Extremely rare," as described by Franklin half dollar specialist Rick Tomaska (2023). One of the finest examples of the issue that we can recall offering, this phenomenal condition rarity is sure to sell for a strong premium.
