1954 Franklin Half-Dollar

Secure a sought-after American coin with the 1954 Franklin half dollar. The Ben Franklin half dollar has a high silver content, and it remains in high demand more than 65 years after minting. With this half dollar coin in your collection, you’ll have a classic in outstanding condition.

High Silver Content

The 1954 Franklin half dollar is composed of silver and copper, which give the coin its intrinsic value. The coin weighs 12.5 grams and feels nice in the hand.

More importantly, 90 percent of those 12.5 grams is silver. Thus, the coin contains 11.25 grams of silver that gives it a sizeable amount of the precious metal.

Excellent Condition

The advantage of owning an uncirculated Ben Franklin half dollar is the quality of the coin’s condition. While these are relatively common collectors’ coins, there aren’t many collectors who have a version of the coin in pristine condition. 

Only 233,300 were minted in Philadelphia during 1954, and only an estimated 155,000 remain. Of those that remain, even fewer -- an estimated 46,500 -- have a grade of 65 or better. An uncirculated one will give you an uncommon version of the coin.

High Sale Price

Thus far, the coin has sold as high as $4,113 at auction. That's a lot higher than it's 50-cent face value.

Stunning Aesthetic for Coin Collectors

The design of the Franklin half dollar gives the coin a stunning aesthetic that many collectors like. The uncirculated coin's silver content shines, showcasing Benjamin Franklin's portrait clearly on the head face. The tail side has the liberty bell, which is perfect considering the coin's Philadelphia mintage. The reeded edge frames the portrait and minting details, while also providing some texture if you hold the coin.

The Ben Franklin half dollar was designed by well-known coin designers John R. Sinnock and John Frederick Lewis.
