1949-S Franklin Half Dollar, MS68
Single-Finest Certified

1949-S 50C MS68 NGC. The 1949 Franklin half dollar claims a relatively small mintage of 3.7 million pieces and the issue is a prime condition rarity in grades above MS67, with or without Full Bell Lines. Most Mint State examples show subdued mint set toning, but series specialist Rick Tomaska notes, "Attractive multi-colored pieces are extremely scarce, and rarely encountered." This magnificent MS68 specimen is the single-finest certified example at either of the leading grading services (6/22). The design elements are well-detailed, though falling just short of Full Bell Lines definition. The virtually flawless surfaces radiate vibrant mint luster, under vivid shades of sea-green and lavender-gray toning. Overall eye appeal is terrific.(Registry values: N7079)
