The Franklin Half Dollar is a 50-cent coin minted by the United States from 1948 to 1963. The 1949 issue was produced in both Philadelphia and Denver, with the Denver mint mark represented by a "D" on the reverse of the coin. These coins feature a portrait of Benjamin Franklin on the obverse and an image of the Liberty Bell on the reverse. They are sought after by collectors for their historical significance and the design executed by engraver John R. Sinnock. The 1949 Denver mint issue is particularly valued for its lower mintage and condition in the collectible market.
