1958 Franklin Half Dollar. MS-67 FBL (NGC).This Mint Set-toned beauty exhibits blended blue-gray, sandy-mauve and golden-apricot patina on the obverse, mottled reddish-apricot iridescence on the reverse. Fully frosted with an exceptionally sharp strike that is sure to catch the eye of advanced Franklin half dollar enthusiasts. An underrated strike and condition rarity, Rick Tomaska describes the 1958 as the most poorly produced Philadelphia Mint half dollar of the 1948 to 1960 era (<em>A Guide Book of Franklin & Kennedy Half Dollars, Third Edition</em>, 2018). This issue is rare in the finest Mint State grades, especially with a Full Bell Lines designation, as here. Outstanding!
