the nation. subsequent mint population reports emanating from pcgs will reveal how very scarce the majority of proof issues are in cameo. with the release of the cameo proof book, and with pcgs'' and ngc''s leap into this market, cameo dealers and collectors coin will now have accurate, hard data with the release of these services'' grading reports to back up what we long-time cameo dealers and collectors have known for years - that exceptional cameo examples of many dates are extremely rare, and are sets truly among the best values in u.s. numismatics today. most collectors and dealers are very familiar with bu franklins. the majority of uncirculated bu franklin half dollars on the market are extremely baggy, and/or possess very heavy, unattractive brown or gray toning. these are ugly coins. the franklin design is a work of art mint in its simplicity. the bust of franklin on the obverse, coin and the famous liberty bell on the sets reverse, are beautiful when their surfaces are clear and unblemished! in addition, many franklins were issued by the mint in cardboard mint sets. the sulfur from these paper products often created some of the most beautifully toned coins in all of u.s. coinage! while rare, gem franklin halves
