1962 Franklin Half Dollar PF67 – A Starburst of Color and Light (314468)
In 1962, the world was filled with contrasts—cold war tensions balanced by the optimism of a space race that continued to inspire. It was a year of bold steps forward, with history unfolding against a backdrop of ambition and uncertainty. And just like the era it was minted in, this 1962 Franklin Half Dollar tells a story of brilliance framed by deeper hues.
Encased in a classic NGC fatty holder, this PF67 Franklin dazzles with a stunning visual contrast. The coin’s center remains blast white, gleaming with the purity of untouched silver, while the dark purple toning along the rim gradually fades into a spectrum of rainbow hues. The effect is like a starburst, radiating light outward from the center, as if the coin itself holds a galaxy within its surface.
The toning along the edge, dark and mysterious, gives way to a spectrum of color that adds depth and character, making this coin truly one of a kind. It’s as if you’re holding a moment where light and color collide, creating a burst of beauty that’s as striking now as it was when the coin was minted over 60 years ago.
For collectors who appreciate both the artistry of toning and the brilliance of a well-preserved proof, this 1962 Franklin Half Dollar offers the best of both worlds—a PF67 grade ensuring its near-flawless condition, with the stunning starburst effect making it a visual masterpiece. A true treasure from a year where the world was reaching for the stars.
