The Franklin Half Dollar is a type of coin minted in the United States from 1948 to 1963. It features a portrait of Benjamin Franklin on the obverse and the Liberty Bell on the reverse. The 1953 San Francisco issue, identified by the mintmark "S," is particularly sought after by collectors due to its limited mintage and condition rarity. These coins are composed of 90% silver and 10% copper, making them appealing to both numismatists and investors in precious metals.
