When was the last time you came across a fully brilliant 1955-P Franklin in high grade FBL with a STAR designation? This stunning gem has been tucked away for quite some time! This one here will have you screaming wow, not just now, but for years to come! 1955-P Franklins in THIS condition are equal to finding a needle in a haystack. Your average 1955-P Franklin features unattractive toned surfaces. Finding an example with bright white spot-free surfaces in high grade is extremely rare, especially with full bell lines. Both obverse and reverse of this gem here offers blast-white surfaces and the intense luster makes this one glimmer. It truly is one of the most breathtaking 1955-P Franklin half dollars I have handled. Encapsulated in an older generation holder when NGC offered a "W" designation which designated that the coin was "White". This is the ONLY example NGC has certified to date in MS66*FBL! This is officially the finest known MS66*FBL 1955-P Franklin half dollar NGC has ever graded. This is hands down one of the RAREST 1955-P Franklin half dollars and I am excited for the next owner to own this incredible rarity. One to tuck away!

This is a special coin and a coin that may never make it to auction but if it does this will go beyond the price guide value due to the condition rarity in the series. braddick the surfaces are extremely clean bordering on MS67 quality.

This is one of the finest fully brilliant 1957-D Franklin half dollars you will ever see certified by NGC in MS66FBL. A good majority of the 1957-D Franklin half dollars certified in MS66FBL are toned and not fully brilliant like this jewel here. Jump on ebay right now and you will not see any 1957-D Franklins offered for sale in MS66FBL with fully brilliant surfaces. When building a set of Franklin halves I highly recommend building one that offers condition rarity. This example here for sale offers the smoothest surfaces I have seen for this date! 1957-D mint state Franklin half dollars are extremely baggy issues and finding one in high grade is rare. When you find an example in high grade and designated with full bell lines you have a true rarity in your hands. If there are any bag marks going through the bell lines the coin should not be designated FBL. That is why this issue is so tough to find in high grade with full bell lines due to the bag marks that plague this issue. If you want to own a true rarity for this issue this would be an outstanding addition to your collection. A fully brilliant gem with bold bell lines, exceptional luster and knockout eye-appeal. It has been quite some time since I've seen a 1957-D Franklin half dollar with surfaces this clean. The luster is intense and the eye-appeal is truly stunning. A true condition rarity!

When I started My coin business back in 2019 I wanted to sell ULTIMATE coins. What is an ULTIMATE coin you may ask?

I have a knockout example that just came in and you have to check it out! A 1962-D Franklin half dollar certified by NGC in phenomenal MS66* condition.

Tracking down a 1950-D mint state Franklin half dollar with mega luster is an extremely frustrating task. Over the last two decades of handling thousands of certified 1950-D mint state Franklins the most common issues for this date I have found are bag marks, dull eye-appeal, water spotting and lack of luster. Quite a few issues indeed and when you come across a gem without these problem areas you have found the ULTIMATE 1950-D mint state Franklin half dollar. NGC has only certified two examples to date in STAR. Only two!!!! Why? The 1950-D mint state Franklin half dollar is an extremely tough issue to find with attractive eye-appeal. Water spots plague this issue! Attractive color toned examples are hard to come by. When these rare finds do pop up on the market they are quickly purchased and tucked away for years. This example here is an absolutely breathtaking example for the date and grade. In my opinion I would have granted this jewel with a star designation. The eye-appeal is incredible! Both obverse and reverse feature beautiful light iridescent shades of powder blue, peach, violet and tangerine. The luster on this jewel is absolutely phenomenal making the color pop off the surfaces. Franklin's cheek is smooth as silk and the Liberty bell lines are crisp and bold. An added bonus is the CAC certification. If you are interested in more info on this jewel click HERE Happy hunting! Jackie O. French

I am absolutely thrilled to be able to offer this breathtaking 1955-P mint state Franklin half dollar in top quality condition. Not only is the 1955-P Franklin the lowest mintage in the series but it is also extremely rare to find in blast-white condition in high grade with full bell lines. This is the ULTIMATE 1955-P Franklin! The luster is magnificent, the surfaces are extremely clean and the eye appeal is out of this world! I am telling you this is one tough example to come by and when it gets tucked away it might be years before you come across another. A good majority of the 1955-P mint state Franklins offer drab eye-appeal and unattractive toned surfaces, especially in MS66FBL. Looking for a rare example for this issue look for extremely attractive color toned specimens or bright white blazers with mega luster like this jewel right here. Eye-appeal plays a huge role in a Franklin half dollars rarity. The specimens that offer the best eye-appeal are the ones that continue to climb in price over the years I have seen first hand. NGC has only certified 118 examples in MS66FBL. An extremely low percentage of those 118 examples are fully brilliant like this gem right here. Very few Franklin half dollars certified by NGC in MS67FBL are fully brilliant. I've been lucky to handle a handful over the last 21 years. Good majority of the MS67FBL examples are color toned specimens. This is extremely important to note when seeking out examples in the Franklin half dollar series.

If you are looking for a high quality 1956 Type 2 Franklin half dollar that borders right on the cusp of ULTRA CAMEO status in high grade check out this beauty right here. The cameo frost is INTENSE! Franklin and the Liberty bell are POPPING off beautiful jet-black fields. Around the reverse starting at 9:00 to 5:00 beautiful tangerine hues grace the rim adding to the eye-appeal this beauty already offers. This is a killer example! What is holding this example back from ULTRA status? If the fields were just a tad bit deeper this one would be designated ULTRA as the frost is ALL THERE! NGC has certified 954 examples to date in PF68CAMEO but there are ONLY 187 certified in PF68*CAMEO. Not all 187 of those have earned a CAC certification like this jewel right here. NGC has only certified 251 examples to date in PF68 ULTRA CAMEO. Remember for NGC to grant a STAR designation the coin has to stand out of the crowd so to speak. What I have come across over the years is that the 1956 Type 2 proof Franklin's that are certified in PF68*CAM either offer ULTRA CAMEO contrast, they border on ULTRA CAMEO or they offer really cool color. There are very few out there that receive a STAR for color, it's usually for heavy cameo contrast a good majority of the time I have found over decades of handling these examples. What makes this example here stand out of the crowd is the intense cameo contrast! This jewel is right on the cusp of ULTRA status and delivers MEGA eye-appeal and quality. This is not an average 1956 Type 2 Franklin half dollar in 68 CAMEO. This is a STAR!!!!! STAR quality at it's finest peeps. This is one to tuck away!

1952-P mint state Franklin half dollars are tough to find with attractive color and this example right here not only offers attractive color but features color that is just hands down really unique! The obverse offers an absolutely gorgeous antique golden hue with hints of hot-pink framed with magenta and teal tones. The luster is unbelievable making the color sparkle and shine in your hand. The reverse takes center stage with the central portion bathed in a lovely baby blue with hints of gold swirling into electric bright shades of hot-pink, forest green, tangerine, ocean blue and purple. Finding a 1952-P mint state Franklin half dollar with surfaces THIS clean is extremely rare. NGC has only certified 15 examples to date in MS66+FBL and there are 11 certified in MS67FBL and only one higher in MS67+FBL. The surfaces on both obverse and reverse are incredibly clean bordering on MS67 territory. Franklin's cheek and the Liberty bell are smooth as silk. The strike is exceptional and the bell lines are bold and undisturbed. This beauty also is certified by CAC as an added bonus! It is actually tougher than you think to locate a 1952-P mint state Franklin that offers exceptional eye-appeal. For NGC to certify a STAR or PLUS designation the coin has to offer exceptional eye-appeal. One of the reasons I absolutely love PLUS and STAR designated Franklin half dollars is because I know NGC saw something spectacular when they took their first glance at the coin. NGC saw EYE-APPEAL! Eye-appeal is a huge factor when it comes to encountering a rare Franklin half dollar. HUGE! This beauty just arrived and is available for sale. Click HERE for more info on this jewel. Happy Hunting!
