Franklin Half Dollars are a series of 50-cent coins minted by the United States from 1948 to 1963. The 1949 issue was produced in both Philadelphia and San Francisco, with the latter bearing the "S" mint mark. These coins feature a portrait of Franklin on the obverse and the Liberty Bell on the reverse. Franklin Halves are notable for their historical significance and are sought after by collectors for their design, silver content, and lower mintage compared to other years.
