Franklin Half Dollars, minted from 1948 to 1963, are 50-cent coins featuring a portrait of Benjamin Franklin on the obverse and the Liberty Bell on the reverse. The Philadelphia Mint produced these coins without a mint mark from 1948 onward. Collectors value them for their silver content, historical significance, and the unique design that celebrates American heritage. Franklin Halves are popular among numismatists due to their relatively affordable price and availability across various grades.
