History and Value: Produced by the United States Mint between 1948 and 1963, the Franklin Half Dollar boasts Benjamin Franklin's likeness on one side and the Liberty Bell on the reverse, both meticulously crafted by John R. Sinnock. Diverging from traditional presidential themes, it incorporates a miniature eagle alongside the Liberty Bell, distinguishing it from its contemporaries.
Originally minted to honor Franklin's bicentennial, its design underwent a competitive selection process. Despite initial objections, it has evolved into a treasured collectible, with its value influenced by factors like condition, rarity, and mint mark. While circulated specimens may fetch a modest premium over face value, uncirculated pieces or those possessing unique attributes can command significantly higher prices. Certain years, notably 1955 and 1953-S, hold special appeal for collectors.
For an accurate appraisal of a specific Franklin Half Dollar's value, consulting reputable coin dealers or reliable reference materials is recommended.
