1950 Franklin Half, MS67 Full Bell Lines
Fantastic Color, Luster, and Full Details

1950 50C MS67 Full Bell Lines PCGS. No Mint sets were issued for the year 1950, resulting in few attractively toned half dollars in the upper reaches of Mint State condition. This exquisitely toned, exceptionally lustrous half dollar is an exception. A Superb Gem in every sense of the words, the smooth, unmarked surfaces are vividly toned in circular bands of multicolored iridescence. Hues of lime-green, ruby-red, orange, blue, magenta, and tangerine-gold cover both sides of the coin. The obverse displays intense tones and luster rim-to-rim, while the reverse is equally colorful, but with a larger center of blazing silver luster. Full details are demonstrated by the particularly strong Full Bell Lines.

Rick Tomaska notes in his Guide Book of Franklin & Kennedy Half Dollars, "I have handled but a single MS67 FBL 1950-P in twenty years." Neither PCGS nor NGC have issued a higher numeric grade for a Full Bell Lines 1950 half in MS67. Population: 27 in 67 (2 in 67+) Full Bell Lines, 0 finer (6/20).
