1953-S Half Dollar, MS64 Full Bell Lines
The Great Strike Rarity in the Series

1953-S 50C MS64 Full Bell Lines PCGS. CAC. One of the greatest strike rarities in the series, the 1953-S Franklin half dollar is readily available as a Gem without Full Bell Lines. But in a situation that is similar to the famous 1945 dime, the 1953-S is very rare in any grade with Full Bell Lines. This brilliant near-Gem has achieved such a distinction. While the strike is not razor-sharp, the bright mint luster and immaculate surfaces more than compensate, and contribute to an impressive eye appeal. The high quality within the grade is confirmed by CAC. Population: 15 in 64 (1 in 64+) Full Bell Lines, 30 finer. CAC: 4 in 64, 2 finer (12/25).
