NGC US Coin Census for Franklin Half Dollars (1948-1963)

Owner Comments:

1956 50C Type One PR68 Deep Cameo PCGS. The Mint made a slight alteration to the Franklin half dollar design partway through 1956. The old Type One design features four feathers on the eagle's left wing, while the new Type Two coins show three feathers left of the perch. The former are about 10 times scarcer than their later counterparts, and PR68 Deep Cameo representatives are major rarities. In fact, they are among the rarest coins in the series This brilliant example showcases glassy fields and fully struck devices covered in a rich layer of frost. Population: 5 in 68 Deep Cameo, 0 finer. NGC 1,0 finer
