Item Description
Let me present to you a pristine example of mid-century American numismatics: a 1958 Franklin Half Dollar Proof. This coin is not just a collector's item, but a true testament to craftsmanship, preserving the beauty and history of the Franklin series for over six decades.
Why the 1958 Franklin Half Dollar Proof Deserves a Place in Your Collection:
1. Preserved Over 65 Years: The 1958 Franklin Half Dollar Proof is an embodiment of history. Minted at the height of America’s post-war era, it has survived 66 years in impeccable condition, encapsulating a time when the U.S. economy was thriving and symbols like Benjamin Franklin were celebrated for their contributions to American ideals.
2. High-Quality Proof Strike: Proof coins from this era are known for their exceptional detail and mirror-like finish. The meticulous striking process at the Philadelphia Mint ensures that every feature, from Franklin’s portrait to the iconic Liberty Bell on the reverse, shines with brilliance. In pristine condition, this coin offers an aesthetic and historical appeal few can match.
3. Scarcity of Quality: Proof Franklin Half Dollars from 1958 were minted in relatively limited numbers—875,652 were produced, but a much smaller number remain in flawless, pristine condition today. Given its age, finding a well-preserved coin is increasingly rare.
Estimated Value:
The value of a 1958 Franklin Half Dollar Proof largely depends on its condition:
- Standard Proof 65 examples typically sell between $50 to $100.
- Proof 67 or higher examples, in pristine condition, command prices ranging from $200 to $300.
- Deep Cameo Proofs, those with even more stunning contrast between the frosted devices and mirror-like fields, can reach values of $500 or more**.
Considering its age, scarcity in higher grades, and the pristine condition you're looking for, this coin is likely valued in the range of $200 to $400, depending on exact grading.
The Timeless Appeal:
Owning a pristine 1958 Franklin Half Dollar Proof is like holding a piece of American history in your hands. Its age, quality, and historical significance make it a must-have for any serious collector, not just as an investment, but as a statement of American heritage.
