- 1950 Franklin Half Dollar. Benjamin Franklin - U.S. Constitution Holder. Proof-67+ (NGC). Intense satin to semi-reflective surfaces are fully untoned and border on pristine. The 1950 is not only the first Proof half dollar of this type, but it is also the most challenging to collect. The mintage of 51,386 Proofs is the lowest in the Franklin series, and most survivors show considerable evidence of having been poorly made or carelessly handled. According to Rick Tomaska in the 2002 edition of The Complete Guide to Franklin Half Dollars, "Glue spots, the use of overused dies, poor packaging, improper handling, all conspire to make high quality examples of this date extremely scarce or rare." Franklin half dollar enthusiasts would be wise to take full advantage of the bidding opportunity that this lot represents. PCGS# 6691. NGC ID: 27VA. Click here for certification details from NGC.
