1955 Franklin Half Dollar PF68 "W" – A Testament to Enduring Brilliance (314452)
In a world of change, some things remain constant. This 1955 Franklin Half Dollar, housed in an NGC "W" holder—a designation for its brilliant white surfaces no longer in use—stands as a symbol of enduring perfection. For over 20 years, this coin has maintained its bright white luster, a testament to the care and craftsmanship that went into its creation, and its exceptional preservation.
Graded PF68, this Franklin Half Dollar remains a pristine example of mid-century numismatics, from an era when Eisenhower was president, and the world stood on the brink of the space age. While so much has changed, the brilliance of this coin has not, remaining as pure and radiant as the day it was encased in its now-vintage holder.
Though NGC has long since retired the "W" designation, this Franklin’s enduring whiteness offers reassurance. For two decades, it has held its brilliance, and we can only expect that this dazzling gem will continue to shine for decades to come. With history as your guide, this piece promises not only beauty but longevity—making it a collector’s treasure and a piece of numismatic certainty in an ever-changing world.
