My Franklin Half Proofs 1950-63

Here is my set of Franklin Half Proofs, with all 15 regular issues. I did not collect the error coins. Well, here are the coins—I have a 51 that is an ANACS, otherwise I would go NGC registry. That 1951 has sentimental value, as my son gave it to me as a birthday present.

Nice! There was a period of time where I focused on Franklin proofs in cameo. It's a fun set and relatively affordable (although a few dates are harder in cameo-the 1950 I only managed to find in an ICG holder while the rest were PCGS and NGC). Eventually I moved on but kept two of my favorites.

This one now has a Green CAC and was a fortunate eBay auction win years ago.

 

That is a beauty. Yes, the 50 is hard, and I looked long and hard to get that 50 OGH with a CAC.

 

Here is the second one that I kept. One of only two Gold CACs that I ever made.

 

Thank you!
The thing about the 1950 is that many don't have the typical proof look (the mirrors aren't as deep and cameo is quite hard to find). It takes some searching, but a nice one can be found (and it looks like you have one).

 

I am happy with the set. Most are 67. A few 66s. A couple of toners. Something for everybody.

 

Nice set. Did you get the "Bugs Bunny" teeth variety ? I do not remember which year it had it on ?

 

I am liking this 1 because it was thee year I was born in 1961.

 

I am really liking the cameo on this 1.

 

I didn’t do any varieties. Only the basic set.

 

really nice morgandude! When I collected US, I really enjoyed collecting proof cameo franklins.

 

Very nice. Something about the symmetry of the Franklin makes it one my favorites.

 

Are there bugs bunny proofs?

 

Very nice set @Morgandude11, thanks for sharing!

The only graded proof Franklin I own has some of those ugly milk spots on it. As far as I can tell from your pictures, your Franklins don't have any of those; excellent!

@ddddd That gold CAC '55 is very lovely!

 

One of my favorite Frankiln proof's is a 55 from my wifes birth year set

This purple 52 is another favorite in the Dansco
