1953-D Franklin Half Dollar, 90% Silver

A solid circulated example of the classic Franklin Half Dollar — Ben Franklin on the obverse, the Liberty Bell on the reverse, just as John Sinnock designed it. The mint mark is clearly visible on the reverse above the Liberty Bell, confirming Denver production. Details: - Date: 1953 - Mint Mark: D (Denver) - Denomination: Half Dollar - Series: Franklin Half Dollar (1948–1963) - Silver Content: 90% silver, 10% copper - Obverse: Benjamin Franklin portrait - Reverse: Liberty Bell with small eagle to the right Circulated with moderate wear — details still present on Franklin's hair and the bell's surface, some light scratches and field wear consistent with age. A nice honest example of a 90% silver half. The Franklin Half Dollar series ran for just 15 years before Kennedy replaced Franklin on the coin in 1964 — making it one of the shorter-lived designs in modern U.S. coinage. *Generated with Gavel AI — please ask questions if the description doesn't seem right.
