1958 D Franklin Half Dollar-FREE SHIPPING

Description: Franklin half dollars were struck from 1948 through 1963 and are one of the shorter-lived series of the 20th century. Designed by John R. Sinnock, the half dollar bearing one of America's most famous and beloved Founding Fathers, Benjamin Franklin, is no doubt a popular coin. However, collecting the entire series by date and mintmark is an affordable objective, due mainly to the Franklin half dollar being a short-lived type with no truly rare regular issues. The fifty-cent piece pictures Founding Father Benjamin Franklin on the obverse and the Liberty Bell on the reverse. A small eagle was placed to the right of the bell to fulfill the legal requirement that half dollars depict the figure of an eagle. Produced in 90 percent silver with a reeded edge, the coin was struck at the Philadelphia, Denver, and San Francisco mints. The obverse of the Franklin Half Dollar coin is the most defining feature of the coin. Here, you will find the image of founding father Benjamin Franklin. His statue faces the right direction with his hair laid back, allowing only the lower part of his ear to stay visible. The coin’s reverse features more details than you will find on the obverse. A significant feature of this design is the detailed depiction of the Liberty Bell, highlighting the crack and inscription on the original liberty bell. Also, you will find a small bald eagle with outstretched wings featured on the right side of this coin. On the opposite side, the famous motto ‘E PLURIBUS UNUM’ is broken down into three separate parts. Finishing the reverse design is the bold description ‘UNITED STATES OF AMERICA’ above and the face value of the coin ‘HALF DOLLAR’ below the Franklin halves. The Franklin Half Dollar comprises 90% silver and 10% copper. It weighs 12.5g and currently has a total melt value of $9.1; this is less than the coin’s final value but more than its face value. This coin is 30.6mm in diameter with an ASW of 0.3617oz.
