Owner's Comments

The combinaton of luster (the luster looks to be nuclear powered) and color exhibited by this coin is stunning, and that is an understatement. Amd it is not just the color and luster that make this coin special, it is the virtual lack of break in the toning. It is the most amazing '57 P mint state Frankin Half I've ever seen, by a long shot, and one of the top 10 most eye appealing mint state Franklin Havles I've seen ...

Expert Comments

Jaime Hernandez

The 1957-P Franklin Half Dollar may be considered a semi key date, as it has a mintage of approximately 5 million coins struck. While other dates in the series have a mintage of well over 25 million. Many 1957-P Franklin Half Dollars have survived in Uncirculated condition, making easily obtainable for just about any collector. Only in MS67 condition or higher is it scarce. With Full Bell details it is scarce in MS66 grade and higher.
