- ULTRA CAMEO Franklin Half Dollars IN ALL GRADES, represent about 1/10th of 1% of all Franklin Half Dollars struck – about 1 in every 1,000 coins struck on average.
- From the nearly 17 million Proof Franklins struck NGC has certified approximately 360,000 of which fewer than 5,000 display Ultra Cameo contrast, roughly 1%.
- Furthermore, the most elusive of all Proof Franklins are not only those designated Ultra Cameo but the select few that have achieved a PF69 grade.
- Less than 300 have done so, amounting to under half-a-percent of the total Proof Franklin Half Dollar population through NGC.
- Only a single date consists of more than 100 Ultra Cameo examples, the 1956 Type 2, while the majority of Proof Franklin Half Dollars dates contain less than a dozen Ultra Cameo specimens.
- Just 4 Proof Franklin Half Dollar specimens have earned a PF69 STAR UCAM grade from NGC!
- That means these 4 examples are in the 99.9 percentile of the finest known specimens NGC has ever come across in the entire Proof Franklin Half Dollar series!
- NGC assigns its trademarked Star (★) Designation to coins with exceptional eye appeal for their assigned grade.
- The 4 PF69 STAR UCAM examples are made up of two dates, the 1957 & 1963 each with two coins in such condition. However, to date none of these 4 pieces have publicly traded, until now.
- NGC does not currently have a separate price guide for Star designated coins, however the Tomaska Signature Series Price Guide for a PF69 NON-STAR UCAM designated coin currently sits at $34,000.
- Predictably a PF69 STAR UCAM, one of the four finest Proof Franklins known, bestowed with the stamp of approval by the leading expert in Franklin Half Dollars (Rick Tomaska), should trade for substantially more.
