Early Franklin Dollars are known for their difficulty to find in high grades and for their low mintages. The mix of these two factors increases the rarity of stunning, high-grade examples exponentially. This 1952 Proof Franklin Half Dollar comes from the third year of issue and has one of the lowest mintages out of all proof Franklins. With only 21 examples of the 1952 Proof Franklin graded higher, this Proof 68 Cameo example is one of the finest known. Recognizing the quality of this stunning coin, it has been placed in NGC’s exclusive “We the People” holder, hand-signed by Rick Tomaska. With a minuscule mintage of only 81,980 examples struck and none graded higher than PF69 condition, this coin is an Absolute and Condition Rarity.
