The Finest in Mint State and Proof Franklin Half Dollars!!!
Our clients love the proprietary Tomaska pedigree Franklin half dollars!
The specially designed holder is a classic – I refer to as the WTP (We The People – the first three words of our constitution, and Benjamin Franklin was one of our Founding Fathers) holder.
More importantly, a collector is assured I have personally reviewed the coin for encapsulation in this proprietary holder, and ONLY those Franklin half dollars meeting that standard are featured in NGC’s census report!
The following are the latest mint state Franklin Pedigree NGC population numbers, in comparison to the generic PCGS and NGC populations. It is important to note I have been certifying these Franklins since 2019, a little less than 2 years. More importantly, the WTP numbers that follow are an indication of how incredibly rare the finest mint state Franklin half dollars are in truly exceptional condition.
Finally, the mint state Franklin WTP populations in some cases are over-represented in the higher grades. For example, 9 1948-P Franklin half dollars have been certified in WTP NGC MS 66 FBL, and 1 in 67 FBL, but NONE in MS 65 FBL. This anomaly is simply due to the fact that I had some spectacular mint state Franklin half dollars in my inventory in old holders, which were then submitted for re-encapsulation in the Franklin WTP Pedigree holder.
The proof Franklin WTP populations will follow in July!
