This Franklin half has it all - the highest numerical grade awarded by NGC, the Plus for having attributes decidedly choice for the grade, the Star for superior eye appeal, and even the elusive FBL for fully expressed lines on the Liberty Bell. Small areas of prooflike reflectivity are noted at the juncture between Franklins portrait and the fields, in his ear and in the deep fold below his ear, next to his hair, with maybe an additional trace in the legends - especially in the area of the word TRUST. On the reverse a similar slight prooflike finish is noted around the Liberty Bell, and especially in the area between the upper part of the bell itself and its wooden suspension. Of course, at this high grade level, you can expect that it also possesses a bold strike and surfaces essentially free of distracting marks, and the present coin will certainly not disappoint on those accounts. Also aesthetically pleasing is the peripheral toning evident on both sides - a rich reddish amber enhanced with subtle tinges of iridescent blues and greens that vibrantly erupt at a tilt. A truly gorgeous and technically superlative piece in every respect. <br />,,PCGS# 86655. NGC ID: 24SV.,NGC Census: 2; none finer. PCGS has certified just a single coin MS-67+ FBL.,
