1953-S Franklin Half, MS65 Full Bell Lines
Important Strike Rarity

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 coin, regularly bring upwards of $25,000 at auction. 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 some of the other more deeply toned examples that frequently make appearances at auction. Radiant luster is generous and complete on both sides. Despite the low populations, we believe the figures are inflated through resubmissions. Population: 23 in 65 Full Bell Lines, 2 finer (11/14).
