***Major Highlight*** 1954 Proof Franklin Half Dollar Near Top Pop! 50c pr68+ DCAM SEGS (fc)
***Major Highlight*** 1954 Near Top Pop! Franklin Half Dollar 50c pr68+ DCAM SEGS. ameo contrast is strong and pronounced, the surfaces expertly preserved and approaching numismatic perfection. Although plentiful in an absolute sense, as are all Proof Franklin half dollar issues, the 1954 is a rare find with the quality offered here. As explained by Rick Tomaska in the 2018 edition of his Guide Book of Franklin & Kennedy Half Dollars:"The 1954 Proof Franklin has always been rare in ultra or deep cameo. While nicely contrasted examples were abundant at one time, exceptional snow-white cameo coins with deep, black-mirrored fields have always been rare. These latter can be quite spectacular in their cameo contrast and eye appeal."With these words in mind, serious bidders are urged to enter highly competitive bids for this fleeting offering.
