History and Value: The Franklin half dollar, minted by the United States Mint from 1948 to 1963, bears Benjamin Franklin's portrait on the obverse and the Liberty Bell on the reverse, crafted by John R. Sinnock. Notable for deviating from presidential depictions, it features a small eagle next to the Liberty Bell, distinguishing it from other coins of its era.
Initially struck to mark Franklin's 200th birth anniversary, its design, selected through a competition, stirred controversy over its portrayal of Franklin. Despite criticism, it remains a collectible piece, with its value varying based on condition, rarity, and mint mark. While common circulated coins may fetch a slight premium over face value, uncirculated specimens or those with unique characteristics command considerably higher prices. Key dates like 1955 and 1953-S are especially sought after by collectors.
For an accurate valuation of a specific Franklin half dollar, seeking guidance from reputable coin dealers or consulting reference materials is advisable.
