NGC Expert Comments:
While it is relatively short series, the Franklin Half Dollar proofs of 1950-63 include some very scarce coins for the condition conscious collector. The Everest Collection clearly was prepared with this thought in mind, as the average grade for this set is remarkably high, with a consistent level of quality. The collection kicks off with a delightful 1950 half dollar grading PF-65ê Ultra Cameo. Finding this level of frosting on a 1950 is nearly impossible, yet this specimen also received the NGC star designation for superior eye appeal. Other dates earning the NGC star include 1955 and 1958, both grading an impressive PF-68ê Ultra Cameo. No less than four of the Everest Collection’s proof Franklins grade a whopping PF-69 Ultra Cameo, as fine as these coins come. Dates that merited this lofty grade include 1956, 1960, 1962 and 1963.
