1950 Franklin Half Dollar, 90% Silver

A nice example of the short-lived Franklin half — only struck from 1948 to 1963 before Kennedy took over the design. Both sides photograph well, with Franklin's portrait showing good detail and the Liberty Bell reverse crisp and clear. Details: - Date: 1950 - Mint mark: Philadelphia (no mint mark) — verify on reverse - Denomination: Half Dollar - Series: Franklin Half Dollar - Silver content: 90% silver (pre-1965) - Designer: John R. Sinnock (obverse); reverse features the Liberty Bell with a small eagle to the right Circulated with light to moderate wear; details remain sharp and the surfaces are clean with natural toning. A solid circulated example. The Franklin half was the first US coin to feature a non-president — Benjamin Franklin — and it only had a 15-year run before being replaced by the Kennedy half in 1964. *Generated with Gavel AI — please ask questions if the description doesn't seem right.
