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 1953 Denver variant is one of the coins struck at the Denver Mint and has a mint mark "D" on the reverse. Collectors often seek Franklin Halves due to their historical significance and silver content, as they are made of 90% silver. The 1953 Philadelphia and Denver issues are notable for their lower mintage compared to other years, making them more desirable among numismatists.
