History and Value: The Franklin half dollar, produced by the United States Mint between 1948 and 1963, showcases Benjamin Franklin's likeness on the front and the Liberty Bell on the reverse, designed by John R. Sinnock. Distinguished by its departure from presidential imagery, it includes a small eagle alongside the Liberty Bell, setting it apart from contemporary coins.

 

Originally minted to commemorate Franklin's bicentennial, its design, chosen through a competition, sparked controversy regarding its portrayal of Franklin. Despite initial backlash, it remains a sought-after collectible, with its worth determined by factors such as condition, scarcity, and mint mark. While circulated versions may fetch a modest premium above face value, uncirculated specimens or those with unique attributes command significantly higher prices. Notably, years like 1955 and 1953-S are highly coveted by collectors.

 

For an accurate appraisal of a particular Franklin half dollar, it's advisable to seek guidance from reputable coin dealers or consult reliable reference materials.
