Underrated? Not if you have a cameo in 67-68, well, according to that Tomaskas dude on his coin peddling show!!

I'm 3 coins away from a proof 66 cameo set. Love the series.

I have always been disappointed by the lack of hair detail in the proofs of these.

I have one 1962 with a mild cameo. I like watching Tomaska. That show is one that I trust.

Some of the early proof moderns are quite hard to find in CAM or DCAM.

I love me some Franklin Proofs. I am 4 coins away from a Cameo Set in 66 or better. 50, 51, 52 and 56 Type 1.

In a group of mixed 90% I recently purchased, there was a 1962 proof half. I don't think pictures do them justice as they are beautiful coins!

@dkillett, I did not think of the 1956 type 1 so I'm exactly where you are at for the cameo proof Franklin set.

I am in the same boat as dkillet and muddler. I own a couple type 1s but no cameo. I love Franklin halves. But if you will notice they aren't discussed on here much. So I don't think they are under valued. Just not collected by the masses.
