1950 50C Franklin Half Dollar PCGS PR67 (CAC)

1950 Franklin Half Dollar – Proof PR67 PCGS (CAC), Philadelphia Mint A standout early Proof from the first year the U.S. Mint resumed Proof coinage after World War II, this 1950 Franklin Half Dollar is certified PR67 by PCGS and approved by CAC for superior eye appeal and quality within the grade. Struck at Philadelphia, it exhibits brilliant, silver‑white mirrors with crisp, sharply impressed details—classic for the date and immensely attractive in hand. Historical significance After pausing Proof production during the war to focus on medals, the Mint restarted Proof coinage in 1950 to tremendous collector interest. Demand surged with America’s post‑war prosperity, and the 1950 Proof Set reached a then‑record mintage of 51,386 sets—an important milestone in modern U.S. numismatics. While most 1950 Proof halves display brilliant finishes, true Cameo contrasts are notably scarce (fewer than one in ten certified), and Deep Cameos are genuinely rare.
