1949 Franklin Half Dollar, 90% Silver

A solid example of the Franklin Half Dollar series — Ben on the front, the Liberty Bell on the back, just as it should be. Only one photo side shows the date (1949, obverse), and the reverse is clearly visible with no mint mark present, indicating Philadelphia production. Details: - Date: 1949 - Mint Mark: Philadelphia (no mint mark) - Denomination: Half Dollar - Series: Franklin Half Dollar (1948–1963) - Silver Content: 90% silver (pre-1965) - Designer: John R. Sinnock Circulated with moderate wear — Franklin's hair and cheek show smoothing, Liberty Bell details are present but softened. Some light toning overall, no major damage or cleaning apparent. The Franklin Half Dollar series ran for just 15 years, making it one of the shorter-lived designs in U.S. coinage history — replaced by the Kennedy Half Dollar in 1964 following the president's assassination. *Generated with Gavel AI — please ask questions if the description doesn't seem right.
