Owner's Comments

THE BLUE JEWEL. BEAUTIFUL SYMMETRIC COLOR TONING OF PURPLE AND A MOUTH WATERING BLUE. THE COLOR TONING OF THE REVERSE IS ESPECIALLY NICE. STUNNING CAMEO DEVICES ARE THE FROSTING ON THE CAKE. BY FAR THE MOST PRETTY FRANKLIN HALF DOLLAR I OWN. PROBABLY THE PRETTIEST FRANKLIN HALF DOLLAR I HAVE EVER SEEN. GRATEFUL TO BE THE PRESENT CARETAKER OF THE COIN.
