Virtually FLAWLESS, this exceptional quality 51-S is TIED FOR FINEST with just a single example for HIGHEST graded at PCGS. This coin is HIGH END, and then some, the epitome of what a tied for FINEST Franklin half dollar should be! Brilliantly lustrous fields radiate on the surfaces, which are suffused with a wonderful mix of peripheral color on the obverse. Shades of burnt-orange, subtle gold, pale lilac, rich violet, and crimson blend together wonderfully, no doubt from storage in an old Mint Set or cardboard album. The reverse is mostly a pearly silver-dove tone with a deeper touch at the lower reverse rim. The sharply struck devices are bold throughout. This is a PRIME candidate for a world class PCGS Registry Set. PCGS 10, NGC 8, CAC 3. There are two in MS67+ FBL at the very top of the pop, neither one has ever sold in auction. The current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $30,000 and it would not shock us at all if this coin realized well in excess of that amount as the Set Registry crowd bids on this SUPERB GEM into the stratosphere. Cert. Number 42001402 PCGS # 86660.00
