Franklin Half Dollars, issued by the United States Mint from 1948 to 1963, feature a portrait of Benjamin Franklin on the obverse and the Liberty Bell on the reverse. The 1961 Philadelphia mint version is one of the common dates in the series, with a composition of 90% silver and 10% copper. Collectors value these coins not only for their silver content but also for their historical significance and the artistic design reflective of the era. Franklin Halves are popular among numismatists, particularly those focusing on mid-20th century U.S. coins.
