About This Coin

John R. Sinnock's Franklin half dollar, issued from 1948 through 1963, represents a mid-century shift toward honoring non-presidential American icons. Featuring Benjamin Franklin on the obverse and the Liberty Bell on the reverse, the 1963 issue marks the final year of this short series, making it a natural focal point for collectors of twentieth-century silver.

This proof example, graded PF67 by NGC, represents the peak of the Philadelphia Mint's craftsmanship at the end of the run. It carries the coveted NGC Star designation, awarded only to coins displaying exceptional eye appeal for the grade. For the Franklin specialist, a Star-designated proof at this level offers a level of visual character that stands out immediately.

Acquiring a final-year Franklin with such distinguished qualities elevates any registry set or type collection. It is a quiet testament to the engraver's art, preserved just as it was struck.

Series History & Details

Minted from 1948 to 1963, the Franklin Half Dollar features Founding Father Benjamin Franklin on the obverse and the Liberty Bell on the reverse. It was the first U.S. coin to feature a historical figure other than a President, and the series ended with the introduction of the Kennedy Half Dollar.
