1963 Franklin Half Dollar, 90% Silver

The last year of the Franklin half — 1963 was the final run before Kennedy took over the coin in 1964, making this a natural stopping point for type collectors. Both sides photograph beautifully, with sharp Liberty Bell detail on the reverse and a crisp Franklin portrait on the obverse. Details: - Date: 1963 - Mint mark: Philadelphia (no mint mark — reverse confirmed) - Denomination: Half Dollar - Series: Franklin Half Dollar (1948–1963) - Silver content: 90% silver (pre-1965) Lightly circulated with some minor contact marks on the bell and obverse field, but overall a bright, attractive example with good detail remaining. The Franklin half was the only U.S. coin to feature a Founding Father who was never president — Ben Franklin got his half dollar while Washington, Jefferson, and Lincoln each claimed their own coins too. *Generated with Gavel AI — please ask questions if the description doesn't seem right.
