Description

1958–1959 Franklin Half Dollars – Denver Mint – .900 Silver (4 Coins)

This lot includes four Franklin Half Dollars dated 1958 and 1959, all struck at the Denver Mint, as indicated by the "D" mintmark above the Liberty Bell on the reverse. These coins feature John R. Sinnock’s portrait of Benjamin Franklin on the obverse, paired with the Liberty Bell and a small eagle on the reverse. Minted in 90% silver, Franklin Half Dollars are a staple of mid-20th-century U.S. coinage and are valued for both their silver content and historical appeal.
