Franklin Half Dollars
1954-S 50C MS67 Full Bell Lines PCGS. The 1954-S is one of the lowest-mintage dates in the Franklin half dollar series with just under 5 million pieces. Most examples are softly struck without Full Bell Lines. When found, the typical Full Bell Lines example will grade MS64 or MS65, and only occasionally is a Premium Gem offered. The present coin is at the top of the Condition Census. PCGS has seen only three 1954-S half dollars in MS67 Full Bell Lines, and NGC none (6/17). This piece strays from its two top-grade counterparts in that it is nearly brilliant, with only a light champagne hue over each side. The preservation is exceptional and the strike is bold. Registry Set collectors should scramble to acquire this important condition rarity.
