1956 Franklin Half Dollar, 90% Silver
A solid example of the Franklin half — one of the more handsome coins the U.S. Mint produced in the postwar era. Both sides photograph well, with Franklin's portrait showing good detail and the Liberty Bell reverse crisp and legible. Details: - Date: 1956 - Mint Mark: Philadelphia (no mint mark) - Denomination: Half Dollar - Series: Franklin Half Dollar (1948–1963) - Silver Content: 90% silver, pre-1965 Circulated with light to moderate wear; some minor surface marks visible but no damage or cleaning apparent. A clean, honest coin. Fun fact: The Franklin half dollar was the first U.S. coin to feature a non-president — Benjamin Franklin — on a circulating issue, a nod to his role as one of America's founding statesmen and the man who famously tamed lightning with a kite. *Generated with Gavel AI — please ask questions if the description doesn't seem right.
