NGC Expert Comments:
A set as thoughtfully constructed as this deserves an evocative name, and Salvia rosmarinus—the botanical name for rosemary—proves fitting. Frau Scully’s masterfully built collection of proof Franklin half dollars, including varieties, evokes a kind of cultivated beauty. The highlights are many: Ultra Cameo rarities like the 1950, 1956 Type 1, 1959, and the 1961 Doubled Die Reverse, as well as a bench of Top Pop coins that elevate this set above formidable competition. More than just technical superiority, there’s a sense of presentation throughout—many coins are housed in the eye-catching We the People holder. With its high degree of completion and unwavering quality, this set is a fresh and fragrant standout in a well-tended field.
