Owner Comments:

PR 67 STAR.
POPULATION:177 . AS OF 2/2018.

BEAUTIFUL CAMEO OBVERSE WITH DEEP, CLEAN MIRRORS. LOOKS FULL CAMEO.
A RELATIVELY LOW MINTAGE ISSUE TO BEGIN WITH, THESE STAR FRANKLINS ARE REALLY UNDERVALUED CONSIDERING SUCH LOW NGC POPULATION COUNTS.

THE INFAMOUS "MILKSPOTS" BEGAN TO APPEAR IN 1958 AND WOULD BE AN ISSUE THROUGHOUT THE REMAINDER OF THE FRANKLIN HALF SERIES, WELL INTO THE 1964 RUN OF KENNEDY HALF DOLLARS. FINDING A NICE FRANKLIN PROOF FROM THESE YEARS THAT IS FREE OF "MILKSPOTS" CAN BE A CHALLENGE.
