1961 Franklin Half Dollar, 90% Silver

A classic mid-century silver half dollar — Ben Franklin on the obverse, the Liberty Bell on the reverse, just as it should be. Checking the reverse carefully, no mint mark is visible, placing this one at Philadelphia. Details: - Date: 1961 - Mint: Philadelphia (no mint mark) - Denomination: Half Dollar - Series: Franklin Half Dollar (1948–1963) - Silver content: 90% silver, pre-1965 - Obverse: Benjamin Franklin portrait - Reverse: Liberty Bell with small eagle at right Circulated with moderate wear — details are still clear, lettering sharp, and the bell reads well. Some light surface marks consistent with age and handling, no major damage. The Franklin half dollar series was struck for only 15 years before Kennedy replaced Franklin on the coin in 1964 — making 1963 the last year of issue and this 1961 example one of the later entries in a short-lived but beloved series. *Generated with Gavel AI — please ask questions if the description doesn't seem right.
