The Survival Estimate represents an average of one or more experts' opinions as to how many examples survive of a particular coin in three categories: 1) all grades, 2) 60 or better, and 3) 65 or better. These estimates are based on a variety of sources, including population reports, auction appearances, and personal knowledge. Survival estimates include coins that are raw, certified by PCGS, and certified by other grading services.

The 1958 Proof Franklin Half Dollar is one of the more common dates in the series. Especially if compared to the 1950-1952 Proof Franklin Half's which all have a mintage under 82,000. The 1958 Proof Franklin Half is scarce in grades of PR68 and higher. Anything grading under PR68 is fairly common and can be purchased very inexpensively.
