Description

1958 Half Dollar, PR69 Ultra Cameo
Top-Graded Example, None Finer

1958 50C PR69 Ultra Cameo NGC. Ex: Everest Collection. Wearing of the master die progressed on Franklin proofs throughout the 1950s, but the dies were not reworked until 1960. Even high-grade 1958 Franklin proofs show loss of detail within Franklin's hair and at other vulnerable areas of the dies. Cameo contrast is likewise often impaired. Ultra or Deep Cameo Franklin halves are extreme rarities in high grades. This spectacular example is brilliant and richly frosted, with watery-deep fields and no signs of impairment. This PR69 Ultra Cameo represents the pinnacle of 1958 proofs. Very simply, none could be (or are) finer. Census: 5 in 69 Ultra Cameo, 0 finer (3/21).
