1948–1963 Franklin Silver Half Dollar 20-Coin Set
Franklin Silver Half Dollar 20-Coin Set — No Duplicates!
The Benjamin Franklin Silver Half Dollar was a beautiful but short-lived coin. During its run from 1948 to 1963, it was the largest coin in circulation at the time. But just a few months after President John F. Kennedy was assassinated in the fall of 1963, the Franklin Half Dollar was discontinued and replaced by our current Kennedy Half Dollar. Today, the Franklin Half Dollar remains a collector favorite, despite having been struck for just 15 years.
For those interested in collecting this coin, we’ve assembled a fantastic “starter set” of 20 Franklin Half Dollars—that’s more than half the complete 35-coin complete set — each featuring a different date/mint mark pairing.
