Lot Title:
|
Eleven Proof Franklin Half Dollars.
|
|
Description:
|
Every single Proof half in this lot is pristine white and untoned save for the 1959, and each stands well above the average coin for quality. We commence with a pair of 1953 coins, both of which grade at least PF-65. One of them displays significant mint frost, and both have deep, bright mirrors. The 1954 has an obvious CAM obverse, and should grade around PF-67, while the 1955 also grades PF-67 and tempts the viewer with some cameo frost. The lot is rounded out by coins dated 1956, 1957, 1959, 1960, 1961, 1962 and 1963. The 1959 coin has some yellowish spots below Ben's ear, the 1961 is a lovely CAM coin, and the 1962 and 1963 coins are both one-sided CAM+ coins. In our opinion, a majority of these coins should grade at least PF-67. Painstaking examination of every coin fails to reveal any grade-limiting hairlines, making this an ideal lot for the certification specialist.
This lot may contain an item not certified by ANACS, PCGS, or NGC. While Scotsman Auction Co. is typically conservative in our descriptions of items not certified by one of these companies, we cannot guarantee our grading estimation will match their grade. We highly recommend that collectors seeking items certified by a third-party grading service only bid on items that have already been certified. No lot can be returned because of a variance in judgment with regards to grade.
