1961 Franklin Half Dollar, 90% Silver

A bright, lustrous 1961 Franklin Half Dollar — one of the last years the series was struck before Kennedy took over the half dollar in 1964. Both obverse and reverse are shown. Details: - Date: 1961 - Mint mark: not visible on reverse — Philadelphia (no mint mark) - Denomination: Half Dollar - Series: Franklin Half Dollar (1948–1963) - Silver content: 90% silver, pre-1965 Sharp details with original luster still showing; some light bag marks and surface hairlines visible on the Liberty Bell reverse, consistent with a circulated or lightly handled coin. A solid example of a classic 90% silver half. The Franklin Half Dollar series ran for just 15 years — it was replaced by the Kennedy Half Dollar in 1964, the year after President Kennedy's assassination, making the Franklin one of the shorter-lived modern U.S. half dollar designs. *Generated with Gavel AI — please ask questions if the description doesn't seem right.
