详细说明: Superb Deep Cameo Proof 1952 Half Dollar Among the Finest Certified 1953 Franklin Half Dollar. Proof-67 Deep Cameo (PCGS). An exceptionally well produced and preserved example of this conditionally challenging Proof issue. Untoned silver white surfaces are deeply cameoed in finish with strong contrast between frosty devices and mirrored fields. Fully struck, as befits the method of manufacture, and virtually pristine in all regards. The 1953 is the first Proof half dollar of the Franklin design type with a mintage in excess of 100,000 coins. Of the 128,800 pieces produced, the vast majority are either universally brilliant or, to a far lesser extent, modestly cameoed in finish. Deep Cameo specimens have always been rare, especially in grades that approach the zenith of numismatic perfection. One of several truly impressive Proof Franklin halves that we are offering in this sale, this delightful Superb Gem is sure to see spirited biding among astute collectors. Provenance: From the Rosie Collection. PCGS Population: 15; 2 finer in this category (Proof-68 Deep Cameo finest). PCGS# 96694. NGC ID: 27VD. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
