Description
1953-S Half Dollar, MS64 Full Bell Lines
A Significant 20th Century Rarity
1953-S 50C MS64 Full Bell Lines PCGS. The 1953-S is clearly
the rarest Franklin half dollar with a full strike, and examples
rarely appear in the market regardless of grade. This Choice Mint
State specimen exhibits the required complete bell lines on the
reverse. Brilliant, untoned examples of this date are frequently
encountered from original rolls, but they are rarely well struck.
