1951 Franklin Half Dollar, PR67+
Registry Grade Ultra Cameo Example

1951 50C PR67+ Ultra Cameo NGC. CAC. The Philadelphia Mint struck a modest mintage of 57,500 proof Franklin half dollars for collectors in 1951. Unfortunately, most of the coins have shallow mirrors and examples with Ultra Cameo contrast are elusive. Also, the Mint's cellophane packaging was not suitable for long term storage and many survivors show excessive hairlines in the fields.

This spectacular Plus-graded Superb Gem displays virtually pristine brilliant surfaces throughout. The sharply detailed design elements have a rich coat of mint frost that contrasts profoundly with the deeply mirrored fields to produce a startling cameo effect when the coin is tilted in the light. The outstanding quality and eye appeal are confirmed by the CAC sticker. Census: 13 in 67 Ultra Cameo (3 in 67+), 1 finer. CAC: 9 in 67, 0 finer (8/21).(Registry values: N7079)
