Take a look at this 1948 Franklin Silver Half Dollar! This coin was graded by the best in the business, NGC, as MS-65-FULL BELL LINES with amazing details and overall striking eye appeal . Take a look at the pictures - we are certain you will like what you see! The "Franklin Half" dollars were minted from 1948 to 1963. The coin pictured Benjamin Franklin on the obverse and the Liberty Bell on the reverse. A small eagle to the right of the bell was necessitated by law; ironically, Franklin himself had opposed the selection of the eagle as the US national symbol, preferring the turkey as a "more noble bird". A bill rushed through Congress after the assassination of John F. Kennedy caused the Franklin half to be replaced by the current Kennedy half dollar in February 1964, nine years before the design would otherwise have been eligible for a change.
