The Franklin half dollar is a coin that was struck by the United States Mint from 1948 to 1963. The fifty-cent piece pictures Founding Father Benjamin Franklin on the obverse and the Liberty Bell on the reverse. A small eagle was placed to the right of the bell to fulfill the legal requirement that half dollars depict the figure of an eagle. Produced in 90 percent silver with a reeded edge, the coin was struck at the Philadelphia, Denver, and San Francisco mints

The Franklin half dollar was struck in relatively small numbers in its first years.The San Francisco Mint closed in 1955; it did not reopen until 1965 by which time the Franklin half dollar had been replaced by the JFK half dollar

this set includes all the "S" Mint Franklin Half dollars and is displayed in a beautiful display case.
