1953 Franklin Half Dollar, 90% Silver

A solid circulated example of the classic Franklin Half Dollar — Benjamin Franklin on the obverse, the Liberty Bell on the reverse, just as John Sinnock designed it. Both photos are shown and the details read clearly. Details: - Date: 1953 - Mint mark: none visible on reverse — 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; high points on Franklin's cheek and hair are softened, Liberty Bell still readable with good detail. No major hits or damage noted. The Franklin Half Dollar series ran only 15 years before Kennedy replaced Franklin on the coin in 1964 — making these the last 90% silver halves struck for general circulation. *Generated with Gavel AI — please ask questions if the description doesn't seem right.
