The Franklin Half Dollar, produced by the United States Mint from 1948 to 1963, features a portrait of Benjamin Franklin on the obverse and the Liberty Bell on the reverse. The coin has a face value of fifty cents and is composed of 90% silver. The 1950 issue of the Franklin Half Dollar is particularly sought after by collectors due to its limited mintage and relative scarcity, making it a valuable addition to a collection of U.S. coins. Collectors often seek coins in high-grade condition, as these can command premium prices in the numismatic market.
