Ex Linda Gail Collection as noted on the insert. This is the WORLD FAMOUS, WORLD RECORD holder Franklin half dollar. This SUPERB GEM is a historic coin, the first Franklin to bring a six-figure price in auction, realizing $129,250 in our September 2018 Regency Auction. In that sale we declared: "We unhesitatingly pronounce this the BEST and wildest 1958 Frankie in existence! EVERYTHING about this coin is mind boggling! EVERYTHING! 1000% PERFECT surfaces adorn both sides. Use a neutron microscope and you will find NO flaws of any size, any where. An intense luster nearly blinds you from all over. The color rivals ANY of the BEST Northern Lights coins-really! Electric shades of killer neon like violet/pearl green/raw blue explode all over the obverse in a sparkly way. The reverse has a killer mix of iridescent reddish rims, with phenomenal nearly neon like greenish gold centers. We rank the colors a 10+ on our 1-10 color scale we used for our North Lights coins. Do not just take our word on wild colors-see this coin. Also, ALL of the details are sharply struck. The eye appeal is outrageous!" The Pre-sale estimate was listed at $15,000-$17,500, and after multiple collectors drove bidding into the stratosphere, it realized a world record bid. The Linda Gail Collector added this coin to the FINEST of all time Franklin half dollar set. It is now your chance to "get the one that ran away." PCGS 35, NGC 19, CAC 20. There are only 4 in MS67+ FBL for the date, obviously NONE are finer. We expect the bidding will again be as intense as the colors that adorn the surfaces of this AMAZING coin! Good luck! Cert.
