<B>1959 50C PR67 Deep Cameo PCGS.</B></I> Type Two Reverse, as on all proofs. According to Franklin half guru Rick Tomaska's <I>The Complete Guide to Franklin Half Dollars </B></I>(2002), "Despite a mintage of over 1 million proof sets, 1959 proof Franklins with significant, heavy cameo contrast on both obverse and reverse are rarely encountered. While not as rare as the 1950, 1951, or 1952 in gem cameo, in terms of the number of cameo struck as a percentage of the total proof production, the 1959 Franklin ranks #1."<BR> The present piece shows the desirable silver-on-black surfaces so desired by collectors of this difficult series, with only the most trivial distractions--a few tiny, loupe-visible-only dark flecks--possibly preventing an even finer grade. This coin is one of only a half-dozen so graded at PCGS, with two pieces finer (11/07).<BR><I>From The Kallenberg #1 PCGS Registry Set Of Proof Half Dollars.</B></I><BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
