Jaime Hernandez

The 1962 Proof Franklin Half Dollar is one of the more common issues in the series, as it has the largest mintage for Proof Franklin Half Dollar series. Examples up to about PR68 without Cameo or Deep Cameo designation appear to be fairly common. In Cameo condition, examples up to about 67 Cameo seem to be somewhat common and anything higher is much scarcer. In Deep Cameo it begins to be scarce in about 66 Deep Cameo. Examples in PR67-68 Deep Cameo are much tougher. In PR69 Deep Cameo they are really tough to find and probably less than a few dozen exist with few or none existing in better condition.

Rarity and Survival Estimates Learn More

Grades	Survival Estimate The Survival Estimate represents an average of one or more experts opinions as to how many examples survive of a particular coin in three categories: 1) all grades, 2) 60 or better, and 3) 65 or better. These estimates are based on a variety of sources, including population reports, auction appearances, and personal knowledge. Survival estimates include coins that are raw, certified by PCGS, and certified by other grading services.	Numismatic Rarity Numismatic Rarity converts the Survival Estimate for a particular coin into a number from 1 to 10 (with decimal increments) based on the PCGS Rarity Scale. The higher the number, the more rare the coin.	Relative Rarity by Type Relative Rarity By Type ranks the rarity of this coin with all other coins of this Type. Lower numbers indicate rarer coins.	Relative Rarity by Series Relative Rarity By Series ranks the rarity of this coin with all other coins of this Series. Lower numbers indicate rarer coins.
