1949-S Franklin Half Dollar. MS-67 FBL (PCGS).An original Superb Gem with lavender-gray and bronze patina over brilliant surfaces. Highly lustrous with a silky smooth appearance, this is a remarkably well produced and preserved example of this key date Franklin half dollar issue. With one of the lowest Mint State populations for the type, the 1949-S is eagerly sought by advanced collectors. At the present grade level survivors are nothing short of rare, and few are as attractive as this vivid Superb Gem. Just 3 have been certified finer by PCGS.
