Franklin Halves are a type of collectible coin struck by the United States Mint from 1948 to 1963, featuring a design that portrays Benjamin Franklin on the obverse and the Liberty Bell on the reverse. The 1953 Philadelphia mint issue specifically has no mint mark, as it was produced at the Philadelphia Mint, which did not use mint marks during that time. These half dollars are popular among collectors for their historical significance and silver content, as they contain 90% silver. Collectors often pay attention to the coin's condition, mint errors, and varieties when evaluating its value.
