1950 Franklin Half, PR68
Rare Registry-Grade Example

1950 50C PR68 NGC. The year 1950 saw the debut of proof coinage for the Franklin half dollar series, with a production of 51,386 pieces for inclusion in proof sets. Examples are typically available in grades as fine as PR67, but higher-grade pieces are notably rare. Only two coins are as fine as PR68 at PCGS, and the 43 coins at NGC in this grade likely include duplications, as significantly fewer examples have ever appeared at auction. This Registry coin displays gleaming mirrors and satiny devices, with overall pristine surfaces. Daubs of amber-gold toning appear on each side, attesting to the originality of the surfaces. Census: 43 in 68 (1 in 68 , 2 in 68+ ), 1 finer (3/24).(Registry values: N1793)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 27VA, PCGS# 6691, Greysheet# 6860)
