PR69 Deep Cameo 1960 Franklin Half

1960 50C PR69 Deep Cameo PCGS. Collectors of proof Franklin half dollars are aware of the scarcity of examples that display significant cameo contrast. Unlike modern Mint proofs, their counterparts from the 1950s and 1960s rarely possess frosted devices. Generally, only the initial strikes from a new pair of proof dies exhibited contrast. The significance of this characteristic was lost on most collectors of the day, and most Deep Cameo survivors display a few hairlines from brief mishandling or improper storage. But the present specimen combines remarkable preservation with elusive pronounced two-sided white-on-black contrast. Brilliant save for traces of gold patina, and certified in a green label holder. Population: 5 in 69 Deep Cameo, 0 finer (10/07).
