Franklin Half Dollars Coming Soon
Coming Soon to Coin Nerds
Franklin Half Dollars will be added to our inventory soon. As new coins become available, this page will begin featuring individual listings and future collector-focused additions from this classic United States silver series.
Issued from 1948 through 1963, the Franklin Half Dollar features Benjamin Franklin on the obverse and the Liberty Bell on the reverse. The series stands out as the first regular-issue United States coin to depict Franklin and remains a popular choice among collectors of mid-20th-century silver coinage.
Collectors value Franklin Half Dollars for their 90% silver composition, historic design, and manageable series length. With a shorter run than many other classic U.S. coin series, Franklin Half Dollars appeal to collectors seeking a silver denomination with strong history, clear variety, and broad collector interest.
Why Collect Franklin Half Dollars?
Franklin Half Dollars are popular because they combine silver content, historical importance, and a classic American design in a practical and collectible format. Some collectors seek a single example as a type coin, while others work toward date-and-mintmark sets or pursue high-quality examples with strong eye appeal.
Their place between the Walking Liberty Half Dollar and the Kennedy Half Dollar makes them an important link in the history of the American half dollar denomination.
