Franklin Half Dollar, MS64 Brown
Struck on a 1948 Cent

Undated 50C Franklin Half Dollar -- Struck on a 1948 Cent -- MS64 Brown NGC. Lavender and aqua hues embrace this fascinating mint error. The 1948 date from the cent is visible above Franklin's ear. Uncentered toward 2 o'clock, hence only the 19 in the half dollar date is present. The cent legends are flattened but ghostly apparent, as commonly seen on elongates. Only 3 million 1948 Franklin halves were struck, which makes the likelihood of finding a similar double denomination error most unlikely.
Ex: Denver Signature (Heritage, 8/2006), lot 4046.
