- 1959 Franklin Half Dollar. Proof-65 Ultra Cameo (NGC). A phenomenal strike rarity that features exceptionally pronounced cameo contrast between frosty design elements and deeply mirrored fields. Brilliant and beautiful. With a generous mintage of 1,149,291 pieces, the Proof 1959 half dollar is hardly a rare issue in an absolute sense. On the other hand, Rick Tomaska (A Guide Book of Franklin & Kennedy Half Dollars, 2018) asserts that "far less" than 1% of the mintage qualifies for even a Cameodesignation from today's major third party certification services. The author describes Deep/Ultra Cameo specimens as "Extremely rare!" and further describes the 1959 as one of the key date issues in the Proof Franklin half dollar series with this finish. Certainly the coin offered here represents a fleeting bidding opportunity for the advanced Franklin half dollar enthusiast. NGC Census: 1; 11 finer in this category (Proof-67 Ultra Cameo finest). PCGS# 96700. NGC ID: 27VJ. Click here for certification details from NGC.
