***Major Highlight*** 1951 Proof Franklin Half Dollar Near Top Pop! 50c pr66+ DCAM SEGS (fc) - ***Major Highlight*** 1951 Near Top Pop! Franklin Half Dollar 50c pr66+ DCAM SEGS. The Philadelphia Mint struck a small production of 57,500 proof Franklin half dollars for collectors in 1951. Unfortunately, most survivors have shallow mirrors and examples with Deep Cameo contrast are decidedly elusive. Also, the Mint's cellophane packaging was not suitable for long-term storage.This spectacular Superb Gem displays virtually pristine brilliant surfaces throughout. The sharply detailed design elements have a rich coat of mint frost that contrasts profoundly with the deeply mirrored fields to produce a startling cameo effect when the coin is tilted in the light. Eye appeal is outstanding. This coin will be a welcome addition to the finest collection or Registry Set
