The United States 50 Fifty Cents Silver Commemoratives were issued beginning in 1892 to honor significant American events, people, and anniversaries. The 1948 series includes notable coins such as the Franklin half dollar, marking the 250th anniversary of the founding of the city of Philadelphia. These commemorative coins typically contain 90% silver and are highly sought after by collectors for their historical significance and artistic designs. The 1948 coins, in particular, are appreciated for their numismatic value and connection to the post-World War II era.
