Item Description
Let me introduce you to a rare gem: the 1962-P Proof Franklin Half Dollar with a Doubled Die Obverse (DDO) that remains unrecorded in any major coin database. This is an extraordinary find, one that could redefine your collection with its uniqueness. Here’s why this coin is special:
Why You Should Own This Coin:
1. Unlisted Variety: Major coin databases like PCGS or NGC do not currently record this specific DDO, meaning this could be a new discovery—an uncharted treasure in the world of numismatics. The opportunity to own a coin with potential future recognition is rare.
2. 1962-P Proof Franklin Half Dollars: Coins from this era are known for high-quality strikes, especially proofs. The 1962-P Proof Franklin series already commands attention among collectors, making a variety such as a DDO even more desirable.
3. Doubling Details: The doubled die obverse (DDO) often results in eye-catching doubling on the lettering, date, or Liberty's features. This anomaly creates a striking visual difference, offering a unique piece of history. However, with the advent of technology that most numismatics are utilizing, it is not hard to see this enigmatic coins characteristics with a common scope.
Estimated Value:
While this specific DDO remains unrecorded, we can estimate its value based on similar coins:
- Standard 1962-P Proof Franklin Half Dollar: These are typically valued between $30 and $50 in Proof 65 condition.
- Recorded DDO Varieties in Other Years: For example, the 1961-P Proof DDO Franklin Half Dollar often sells between $500 to $1,500, depending on condition.
Given the scarcity and potential future recognition of this unrecorded DDO, it’s not unreasonable to estimate its value could range from $1,000 to $3,000, depending on grading. As more collectors become aware of this coin, its rarity and desirability could push its price even higher.
By adding this coin to your collection, you're not just acquiring a piece of silver—you're securing a potential numismatic breakthrough. It’s an investment in rarity, history, and potential future recognition.
Photo Narrative: Machine Die Doubling is where the material spreads out from the center of the planchet creating a shadow like effect in all directions. What makes this coin's Doubled Die unique is the date shadow is not from center line of the coin to the rim, it is coin North to South. This is indicative of an offcenter second strike creating the Doubled shadow on what should be the mirrored fields. This is also evident on the edge pressed areas, where it is obvious the planchet shifted on the second strike.
