1937 Double Die Obverse Washington Quarter NGC MS66+ Sole Finest Known Both Grading Services

Single Finest Certified Mint State Franklin Known to PCGS 1948 Franklin Half Dollar. MS-68 FBL (PCGS). CMQ. A true wonder coin among Franklin half dollars, this is the only circulation strike example of the type certified MS68fbl BY PCGS in 38 years of business. Much of this coin’s “spectacular” nature comes from the exceptionally vivid toning that it displays. The obverse is awash in a rich mottling of intense rose, orange-copper, sea-green and olive-gold iridescence. The reverse, a bit more reserved, is largely silver-gray but with flashes of vivid cobalt blue, salmon-pink and rose-apricot iridescence at the border. The pattern of toning and the colors of which it is comprised is strongly suggestive of a coin that spent many years in an original cardboard Mint Set holder of the type introduced by the Mint in 1947.
