1952 Franklin Half Dollar — NGC PF62 — Classic Proof Franklin PRICE $250
A desirable 1952 Franklin Half Dollar certified by NGC as PF62, representing one of the earlier Proof issues of the popular Franklin Half Dollar series.
This Proof displays the distinctive characteristics collectors look for in specially struck Franklin halves, with reflective fields and sharply defined design elements. Benjamin Franklin’s portrait is boldly presented on the obverse, while the reverse features the classic Liberty Bell design with the small eagle positioned to the right.
The coin shows attractive silver surfaces with subtle natural coloration visible in areas around the devices and periphery. The enlarged photographs highlight the reflective character of the fields as well as the considerable remaining detail on both sides.
The 1952 Proof Franklin Half Dollar had an original mintage of only 81,980 pieces, substantially lower than the large Proof mintages seen later in the Franklin series.
