- Scarce Type I Reverse 1956 Proof Half Dollar Tied for Finest Certified in the PCGS DCAM Category 1956 Franklin Half Dollar. FS-901. Type I Reverse. Proof-68 Deep Cameo (PCGS). Blushes of pale silver-blue iridescence drift over both sides of this predominantly brilliant specimen. The surfaces are expertly preserved and, in the absence of even trivial blemishes, allow ready appreciation of strong field to device contrast. The Mint made a slight alteration to the Franklin half dollar design partway through 1956. The old Type I reverse hub features four feathers on the eagle's left wing, while the new Type II coins show three feathers left of the perch. The former are about 10 times scarcer than their later counterparts, and are major strike and condition rarities at the present grade level. In fact, they are among the rarest coins in the series after the 1961 Doubled Die Reverse. This dazzling Ultra Gem is a delight to behold and would serve as a leading highlight in a top ranked PCGS Registry Set. PCGS Population: 6; 0 finer in this category. PCGS# 96686. NGC ID: 24TV.
