Historical Context
About the Franklin Half series
Designer: John R. SinnockYears struck: 1948–1963

The only US circulating coin to depict Benjamin Franklin. Short run — replaced by the Kennedy Half after JFK's assassination. The "full bell lines" designation on the reverse Liberty Bell is the key collectible variable for high-grade examples.
