Lot Description

1949-S Franklin Half Dollar. MS-67 (PCGS). CAC. An original Superb Gem with powder-blue and bronze patina over brilliant surfaces. Highly lustrous with a silky smooth appearance, this is a remarkably well produced and preserved example of this key date Franklin half dollar issue. With one of the lowest Mint State populations for the type, the 1949-S is eagerly sought by advanced collectors. At the present grade level survivors are nothing short of rare, and few are as attractive as this vivid Superb Gem. Just a single coin has been certified finer by PCGS. Approval by CAC also confirms this superior quality. PCGS Population: 20; just 1 finer in this category. PCGS# 6655. NGC ID: 24SV. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
