It's no 1939 Proof Set for $150... But it is a 1958 Cam Franklin

But for $55 is a 1958 Proof Set with a great half worth it?





The reverse is a bit weak; some parts of the bell are weakly frosted. The yellowish appearance of the photographs is due to the lighting, not the coins. The dime in the set might be a cameo, but it is too dirty to tell. Any opinions on what this half or what it will grade?

Very Nice! Those 58s in CAM are tough!!

Are those hairlines on the bell or on the holder?

The lines are spread evenly over the surface of bell. Would they be considered hairlines if they actually came from the die itself? I was curious if the lines might be a result of the die being polished.

Hmm... Will a TPG mistake die polishing for hairlines?

They shouldn't. Very nice pickup of a very tough coin. The spots will probably limit it to 65. CAM or DCAM, I'm not sure which.

Generally speaking die polish lines would only appear in the fields, not on the devices.

That looks like the type of spotting that is probably correctable.
