1960 Franklin Half, MS67 Full Bell Lines
Tied for Finest Certified

1960 50C MS67 Full Bell Lines NGC. It is usually a good indication of a coin's rarity when a search of the 20-year Heritage archive reveals only one other example in a comparable grade. A quick check of the population data confirms why, with NGC and PCGS each reporting just two 1960 Franklin halves graded MS67 Full Bell Lines (1/22). In 2011, Rich Tomaska was unaware of any 1960 MS67 Full Bell Line coins -- a situation that has changed only slightly from just over a decade ago. A newly reworked master die improved the strike quality of 1960 half dollars, although bagmarks prevent most coins from reaching the Superb Gem level even today. This MS67 FBL coin benefits from the sharp strike and avoids all but a few insignificant, tiny marks. A display of reddish-tan toning embellishes the frost-white silver surfaces. Census: 2 in 67 Full Bell Lines, 0 finer (1/22).(Registry values: N7079)
