1949-S Franklin Half Dollar. MS-67 (PCGS). CAC.Bold underlying cartwheels support frosty golden-orange iridescence, heavier at the peripheries on both sides. An impressive Superb Gem example of this desirable key date, the devices are uniformly crisply struck and the fields are expectedly smooth. Gorgeous and very scarce at this level of preservation, just three examples are graded finer by PCGS, all just by a plus designation.
