The Franklin Half Dollar, produced by the United States Mint from 1948 to 1963, features a depiction of Benjamin Franklin on the obverse and the Liberty Bell on the reverse. The 1963 Philadelphia issue is particularly noteworthy due to its status as one of the last years of mintage for this coin type. These coins are composed of 90% silver and 10% copper, making them appealing to both collectors and investors. The 50-cent denomination typically shows a variety of mint marks, with the Philadelphia coins having no mint mark.
