Description
1953 Franklin Half, PR68 Ultra Cameo
Unsurpassed From the 1950-1953 Period
1953 50C PR68 Ultra Cameo NGC. Ex: Everest Collection. When
we last sold a PR68 Ultra Cameo Franklin half it was on August 14,
2006, when it brought a then-astounding $63,250 as lot 5272 of our
Denver Platinum Night auction. Then, it was the sole-finest 1953
Franklin proof known. This is that same coin, in a new NGC holder
at the same grade. Since then, two other proofs have achieved its
technical grade (one at PCGS, plus one other at NGC), but neither
of those come-latelies can exceed the quality of this splendid
example. Glittering mirrors surround impeccable, frosted devices.
It remains one of the finest proof Franklins produced in the early
1950s. As we said in our 2006 description, "Even close inspection
of the fragile proof surfaces, with the aid of a magnifier, fails
to reveal a single noteworthy flaw."From The Estate of Richard Kay. (Registry values: N14284)
