A silver U.S. Franklin half dollar from 1956. These coins are in Mint State Brilliant Uncirculated condition, with no wear and strong luster. The obverse side of the coin features a portrait of Benjamin Franklin, notable eccentric and Founding Father. The reverse side of the coin features the Liberty Bell.
The Franklin half dollar series used to be the successor of the Walking Liberty half dollar series and the predecessor of the Kennedy half dollar series. The coin used to be the brainchild of U.S. Mint director Nellie Ross, an admirer of Franklin, who felt a replacement used to be needed for the “old-fashioned” Walking Liberty design (first minted in 1916). After the first draft of the Franklin half design used to be completed, the Mint realized that a law from 1873 dictated that every one coins of higher value than a dime should feature an eagle within their design. Slightly than abandoning the Liberty Bell reverse, the Mint made up our minds to insert a small eagle to the right of the bell. As some historians noted, Franklin himself would have disapproved of the coin, as he opposed featuring portraits of men on the first American coins and as a substitute favored coin designs featuring thought-inspiring proverbs.
Specifications: Every coin measures 30.6mm in diameter, weighs 12.5g, and is made of .900 fine silver. Every coin will be secured in an archival-quality Mylar flip, and Every flip will be secured in a corrugated cardboard safety mailer. If in case you have any questions about these coins (or about coin collecting in general), please send me (O.S.C.) a message and I’m going to be happy to respond.
