Franklin Halves are a series of fifty-cent coins minted in the United States from 1948 to 1963, featuring a portrait of Benjamin Franklin on the obverse and the Liberty Bell on the reverse. The 1957 Philadelphia Mint issue is part of this series and does not have a mintmark, as coins produced in Philadelphia traditionally do not display one. Collectors value Franklin Halves for their historical significance, design, and silver content, as these coins are composed of 90% silver. The 1957 coins are generally found in varying conditions, impacting their numismatic value.
