Description

1950 Half Dollar, PR68
Practically Flawless, All-Brilliant

1950 50C PR68 NGC. Flashy mirrors and brilliant surfaces show only moderate contrast, yet this beautifully preserved Superb Gem proof is an eyeful. The pinpoint sharp strike complements impeccable fields and devices. Franklin half dollar collectors know the overall quality of 1950 proofs is poor, and while Gem examples exist with and without Cameo designation, contrast is generally light and many have problems. This PR68 coin has no such concerns. It may have been removed from the original Mint packaging soon after purchase to survive in this lofty grade. Few examples are finer, and those are tightly held in advanced collections. Census: 24 in 68 (1 in 68 , 2 in 68+ ), 1 finer (3/21).
