The 1956 Franklin Half Dollar is a 50-cent coin minted by the United States Mint, featuring a portrait of Benjamin Franklin on the obverse and the Liberty Bell on the reverse. Struck from 1948 to 1963, the Franklin Halves are composed of 90% silver and 10% copper. The 1956 edition, while not particularly rare, is still sought after by collectors, especially in higher grades. Its value often depends on its condition, with uncirculated examples and those with fewer marks or blemishes fetching higher prices.
