Proof Franklin Half Dollars
1954 50C PR68 Deep Cameo PCGS. CAC. Ex: Blue Ocean. The 1954 is another issue that is rarely encountered with profound contrast. Rick Tomaska explains in A Guide Book of Franklin and Kennedy Half Dollars:
"The 1954 Proof Franklin has always been rare in ultra or deep cameo. While nicely contrasted examples were abundant at one time, exceptional snow-white cameo coins with deep black-mirrored fields have always been rare. These latter coins can be quite spectacular in their cameo contrast and eye appeal."
This amazing PR68 Deep Cameo coin with CAC approval, which resides in the second all-time finest Franklin half dollar proof Registry Set, enjoys dramatically contrasted black-and-white surfaces entirely devoid of contact. The acquisition of a finer representative remains an impossibility. Population: 14 in 68 Deep Cameo, 0 finer. CAC: 7 in 68, 0 finer (6/17).
