1953 Half Dollar, PR68 Deep Cameo
Sole Finest Deep Cameo at PCGS

1953 50C PR68 Deep Cameo PCGS. Most proof 1953 Franklin half dollars are in non-Cameo grades, and occasionally Cameo pieces are seen. However, Deep Cameos are scarce overall. The finest Deep Cameo at PCGS is the present coin -- a lone PR68 Deep Cameo, with only a PR67+ Deep Cameo coming anywhere close to this piece's quality at that service. The strike is sharp throughout, complementing dramatic white-on-black contrast, with liquidlike mirroring in the fields. Eye appeal is simply outstanding. We have handled an NGC coin in this grade on three prior occasions, the last of which was a CAC-approved coin in our October 2021 Long Beach Signature, which realized $20,400. The current example is the first time the lone PCGS coin in this grade has appeared in our auctions. Population: 1 in 68 Deep Cameo, 0 finer (2/22).(Registry values: N14284)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 27VD, PCGS# 96694, Greysheet# 6872)
