1961 Franklin Half Dollar, 90% Silver

A nice example of the Franklin half — one of the last series struck before Kennedy took over in 1964. Both sides photograph well, with good detail on Franklin's portrait and the Liberty Bell reverse. Details: - Date: 1961 - Mint mark: Philadelphia (no mint mark — checked reverse, none present) - Denomination: Half Dollar - Series: Franklin Half Dollar (1948–1963) - Silver content: 90% silver, pre-1965 - Obverse designer: John R. Sinnock (JRS initials visible below portrait) Circulated with light wear; luster still shows on the high points and the fields are clean with only minor contact marks. A solid circulated example. The Franklin half dollar series ran only 15 years — it was replaced by the Kennedy half dollar just months after President Kennedy's assassination in November 1963, making 1963 the final year of issue. *Generated with Gavel AI — please ask questions if the description doesn't seem right.
