1961 Franklin Half Dollar – 90% Silver (Philadelphia Mint)
$18.39 USD
This 1961 Franklin Half Dollar features a crisp, brilliant finish with strong details on both Franklin’s portrait and the iconic Liberty Bell reverse. Struck in 90% silver, this coin displays light natural luster and clean surfaces, showing only minimal wear consistent with gentle circulation.
On the obverse, Benjamin Franklin is shown in right-facing profile with LIBERTY and IN GOD WE TRUST encircling his image. The reverse showcases the Liberty Bell with its historic crack and a small eagle to the right — symbols of American independence and freedom.
This particular piece bears no mint mark, identifying it as a Philadelphia Mint issue, and has excellent eye appeal for its age.
