Own The Complete Franklin Silver Half Dollar Set!

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 16 years.

Popular, Short-Lived Design

With an obverse portrait of Founding Father Benjamin Franklin designed by John R. Sinnock and a Liberty Bell reverse designed by Gilroy Roberts, the eighth and ninth Chief Engravers of the U.S. Mint respectively, the Franklin Half Dollar is an exquisitely designed coin that is popular among collectors. And now, we’ve assembled a fantastic complete set of Franklin Half Dollars — that’s 35 coins represented every year struck and every mint that struck the coin!
