1955 Franklin Half Dollar PR-68 Cameo PCGS
Struck at the Philadelphia Mint in 1955, this United States half dollar represents a mid-century numismatic achievement. Crafted from 90 percent silver, the coin contains 0.3575 troy ounces of precious metal. It belongs to the celebrated Franklin Half Dollar series, which honors one of America's most influential founding figures. This specific coin has achieved a remarkable Proof 68 Cameo certification. The cameo designation highlights a sharp, frosted contrast between the raised design elements and the highly reflective, mirror-like fields. With a total mintage of 378,200 pieces for the year, finding a specimen preserved in this exceptional proof state offers a vivid window into the minting artistry of the era. The obverse features a profile portrait accompanied by the inscriptions "IN GOD WE TRUST" and the year 1955. The reverse displays the iconic Liberty Bell alongside the national motto "E PLURIBUS UNUM" and the country name "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA," with the face value designated as "HALF DOLLAR."
