Franklin Half Dollars are a series of fifty-cent coins minted by the United States from 1948 to 1963. The 1949 issue, particularly from the San Francisco mint (S mintmark), is notable among collectors due to its limited mintage and the overall demand for higher-quality specimens. These coins feature a portrait of Benjamin Franklin on the obverse and the Liberty Bell on the reverse, making them historically significant and sought after in the numismatic community. Collectors typically look for high-grade versions and any variations in mintmarks that may enhance their value.
