1953-D Franklin Half, MS67 Full Bell Lines
Toned Top-Grade Condition Rarity

1953-D 50C MS67 Full Bell Lines PCGS. The 1953-D often comes well struck, and most Mint State examples earn placement in the Full Bell Lines category. Nonetheless, this issue is a condition rarity at the Superb Gem level. PCGS lists only seven FBL coins in this grade with none finer. We have handled only two pieces in this grade, one PCGS coin and one NGC. The NGC coin we handled four times, most recently in 2007. The PCGS coin we have handled once, in our June 2014 Long Beach Signature, where it realized $19,975.

This is a fresh example. The strike claims full sharpness throughout, complementing the untouched, softly frosted mint luster. Natural olive-gold, amber, and russet toning on each side attests to the originality of the surfaces. An important opportunity for the Registry collector. Population: 7 in 67 Full Bell Lines, 0 finer (11/20).(Registry values: N7079)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 24T7, PCGS# 86665, Greysheet# 6839)
