1957 Franklin Half Dollar PF-66 Cameo PCGS
In 1957, the Philadelphia Mint produced a limited run of proof coinage, including this Franklin half dollar. Struck in 90 percent silver, this particular specimen is certified as a Proof 66 Cameo. The Cameo designation highlights a beautiful visual contrast, where frosted design details stand out sharply against highly reflective, mirror-like fields. This effect brings a dramatic depth to the mid-century design. The obverse features the profile of Benjamin Franklin, accompanied by the inscriptions of LIBERTY and IN GOD WE TRUST, alongside the year 1957. On the reverse, the iconic Liberty Bell takes center stage, flanked by the traditional motto E PLURIBUS UNUM. The surrounding legends declare the issuing country, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, and the denomination, HALF DOLLAR. Containing approximately 0.3575 troy ounces of pure silver, this coin represents a classic era of American coinage, showcasing the artistry of the Philadelphia Mint without a mint mark.
