Description
1950 Franklin Half Dollar
Major Rarity in PR65 Deep Cameo
'King of the Cameo Franklin Series'
1950 50C PR65 Deep Cameo PCGS. CAC. Ex: Blue Ocean. The
effects of not having engaged in proof coin production for eight
years is evident in the manufacturing quality of the 1950 Franklin
half dollar proofs. Most examples were poorly made with low
contrast, myriad hairlines, and often discolored from the method of
packaging. Specialists in this series will recognize the importance
of this PR65 Deep Cameo example, one of 51,386 specimens struck in
1950, which Rick Tomaska has called "the king of the cameo Franklin
series" and "a great 20th-century rarity."Black-and-white surfaces display profound field mirroring and thickly frosted, fully struck design elements. A single contact mark above the ear is noted. Population: 4 in 65 Deep Cameo, 1 finer. CAC: 2 in 65, 0 finer (6/17).

Auction Info
Buyer's Premium per Lot:
17.5% of the successful bid (minimum $19) per lot.
The Draped Bust Half Dollars of 1796-1797 by Jon Amato is the culmination of more than 10 years of research into the Draped Bust Small Eagle half dollar series, one of the most coveted type coins in American numismatics and one about which remarkably little has been written.
This work will be the premier reference for 1796-1797 half dollars for years to come. Institutions having an extensive numismatic library or coin cabinet will find it a valuable complement to their holdings, and catalogers charged with writing up specimens for auction can now have an indispensable source of background and pedigree information. Likewise, coin dealers seeking to purchase one or more '96 or '97 half dollars for a client or for inventory, and collectors who own, have owned, or desire to own one will want this important reference work for their libraries.
