Owner's Description

Ultimate Rarity-- top pop of 1, with only 4 coins having that distinction in the series.

Add the following: only franklin proof cac'd out of 4 top pop's of 1.

The'50, #1 key cameo date: There are a total of 44,964 pcgs/ngc cameos certified '50-'63. No other cameo date has a top pop of 1.

RE: SECONDARY TIER '50 67* cameo date:

The '50 67* cameo has been a source for 2/4 67* cameo upgrades to '50 ult 67, MAJOR UPGRADE, to say the least! Both sold by R&I coins.

The 1950 date is the lowest U.S. mintage of all franklin proofs. Ranking #2/15 re: lowest # of ult/dc&'s.

Extremely poor packaging design is noted '50 to mid '55, impacting rarity for higher grade coins.

Several proofs from this date have shallow mirrors/glue spotted & very few have been certified by pcgs/ngc as ult/dc&'s.

The two NEW '50 ult 67&'s out there have not been placed in registry sets.
