1956 Type 2 Franklin Half PF68 NGC

Offered here is an exceptional 1956 Type 2 Franklin Half Dollar, certified Proof 68 by NGC. This near-flawless example represents one of the finest grades commonly encountered for the series, showcasing remarkable preservation and outstanding eye appeal.

The “Type 2” designation refers to the revised reverse design used later in 1956, featuring a sharper and more refined depiction of the eagle. This variety is highly sought after by collectors looking to complete a full Franklin proof set with both reverse types.

Struck at the Philadelphia Mint, this coin exhibits deeply mirrored fields and beautifully frosted devices, creating a strong cameo-like contrast. The surfaces are clean and highly reflective, with only the most minimal imperfections visible under magnification.

Encapsulated in an NGC holder, this PF68 example offers both superior quality and long-term protection, making it a standout addition to any advanced collection.
