The Franklin Half Dollar is a 50-cent coin issued by the United States Mint from 1948 to 1963. The coin features a portrait of Benjamin Franklin on the obverse and the Liberty Bell on the reverse. The 1948 Franklin Half Dollar, minted in Denver, is notable as it was the first year of this series and has a relatively low mintage compared to later issues, making it a key date among collectors. Collectible versions of this coin may include those in higher grades, such as MS or PR, which tend to command a premium in the numismatic market.
