Description
Strike Rarity 1953-S Franklin Half
MS65 Full Bell Lines
1953-S 50C MS65 Full Bell Lines PCGS. The 1953-S Franklin
half is a notorious strike rarity in the series, and pieces such as
the present example, a Gem Full Bell Lines example, regularly bring
upwards of $25,000 at auction. The last such coin that we offered,
lot 3281 in our FUN Signature (Heritage, 1/2012), brought $28,750.
The present coin is basically an untoned silver-white example save
for a slight gold accent, and may appeal to a different collector
base than the more deeply toned example cited above. Radiant luster
is generous and complete on both sides. Despite the low
populations, we believe the figures are inflated through
resubmissions. Population: 22 in 65 Full Bell Lines, 1 finer
(3/12).(Registry values: N4719)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 24T8, PCGS# 86666, Greysheet# 6841)
Weight: 12.50 grams
Metal: 90% Silver, 10% Copper
