Post-War American Silver With Real History
Issued from 1948 to 1963, the Franklin Half Dollar depicts Benjamin Franklin on the obverse and the Liberty Bell on the reverse. Popular among collectors.
John Sinnock’s portrait of Benjamin Franklin replaced the Walking Liberty Half Dollar in 1948 and remained in circulation until the Kennedy issue arrived in 1964. With 90% silver content per coin, the Franklin Half Dollar is a recognized junk-silver staple for diversifying outside of bullion strikes.
