1958-D 50C, FBL MS (PCGS#86675)

November 2025 Showcase Auction U.S. Coins

详细说明: This is a coin that really needs to be seen to be fully appreciated, the toning that adorns the obverse is so vivid and striking. The colors include, but are limited to, deep cherry-red, antique-gold, forest-green and burnt orange. All are iridescent in quality and allow full mint frost to shine forth powerfully as the surfaces rotate under a light. Fully struck and as smooth as the day it emerged from the dies, this glorious Superb Gem holds tremendous appeal for both advanced Franklin half dollar collectors and toning enthusiasts. The winning bidder, regardless of their specific numismatic interest, should expect to pay a strong premium.Writing in the excellent reference A Guide Book of Franklin & Kennedy Half Dollars (2018 edition), Rick Tomaska ably describes the awesome rarity of this coin: "The 1958-D is the most common date in the series in MS-67 or MS-67 FBL, though still a rare coin. There are no common-date Franklin halves in MS-67. There are no MS-68 1958-D Franklins. All known examples are Mint set-toned pieces. The eye appeal for most of the MS-67s ranges from attractive to simply breathtaking. Feel very fortunate if you own one of the latter - an ultimate Franklin - an MS-67 or MS-67 FBL grade, with color that few coins in numismatics, in any series, can equal in beauty."The coveted + designation from PCGS and equally significant CAC and CMQ approvals further enhance the rarity and desirability of this outstanding 1958-D half dollar.
