EVEREST 1960-D Franklin PCGS MS 66 FBL
The 1960-D is not a date one can find with exceptional color toning. After 1958, the mint no longer issued mint sets in the paper cardboard envelopes, which is the source for the majority of superbly toned Franklin half dollars in the series.
Additionally, the later D mints tend to tone in less spectacular shades than their P mint counterparts.
And then there are the magnificent 5!
These 5 1960-D Franklins originally surfaced about 30 years ago. They are without question the most spectacular toned 1960-D Franklins known!
The magnificent toning is attributed to the town it came from, in the Rocky Mountain region, where there was a sulfur mine. The coins were all stored in someone’s drawer in the forementioned envelopes in the town, which over the decades reacted with sulfur in the air and toned them with amazing color obverse and reverse. All 5 of the coins
displayed similar spectacular color. Four of the coins graded MS 65 FBL by PCGS. This was the ONLY example out of the 5 to grade MS 66 FBL! It is by far the finest of all 5!
If there ever was a 1960-D Franklin that would someday be valued in the six figures, this is the coin!!!
The color on this radiant beauty features vibrant, neon color from fiery red, rich orange, fuchsia, amethyst, and even accents of emerald green and sunburst yellow.
