1949-S Franklin Half Dollar MS-66 PCGS
Struck at the San Francisco Mint during the mid-century era, this 1949 silver half dollar represents a classic period in United States coinage. The coin contains 0.3575 ounces of silver, with a purity of 90 percent. Out of a total mintage of 3,744,000 for this specific year and mint, this particular specimen has been graded in exceptional Mint State 66 (MS-66) condition, showcasing its outstanding preservation. The obverse features a right-facing profile of Benjamin Franklin, designed by John R. Sinnock. The word 'LIBERTY' is positioned above his portrait, while the phrase 'IN GOD WE TRUST' appears below, with the 1949 date placed to his right. On the reverse, the central design displays the Liberty Bell. The country name and denomination surround the bell, complemented by the motto 'E Pluribus Unum' to its left and an eagle with outstretched wings to its right. The tiny 'S' mint mark above the bell hanger confirms its origin from the West Coast facility.
