History and Value: Produced by the United States Mint between 1948 and 1963, the Franklin Half Dollar features Benjamin Franklin's portrait on one side and the Liberty Bell on the reverse, both meticulously crafted by John R. Sinnock. Diverging from traditional presidential designs, it incorporates a miniature eagle alongside the Liberty Bell, distinguishing it from contemporary coins.
Originally minted to honor Franklin's bicentennial, the design was chosen through a competitive selection process. Despite initial objections, it has persevered as a beloved collector's item, with its value influenced by factors like condition, rarity, and mint mark. While circulated examples may command a slight premium over face value, uncirculated specimens or those with unique attributes can fetch significantly higher prices. Certain years, notably 1955 and 1953-S, hold particular appeal for collectors.
For an accurate appraisal of the worth of a specific 1957 Choice Proof Franklin Half Dollar, it's recommended to consult reputable coin dealers or reliable reference materials.
