1950 Franklin Half Dollar MS-64 PCGS (FBL)
Struck at the Philadelphia Mint in 1950, this mid-century silver half dollar represents a classic era of United States coinage. The coin contains 0.3575 troy ounces of silver, with a purity of 0.900. It has been graded Mint State 64 (MS-64) and carries the highly sought-after Full Bell Lines designation, indicating an exceptionally sharp and complete strike on the reverse design. The obverse features a right-facing profile of Benjamin Franklin, designed by John R. Sinnock. The inscriptions "LIBERTY" and "IN GOD WE TRUST" accompany the portrait, with the 1950 date positioned to the right of Franklin. Because this piece was minted in Philadelphia, it features no mint mark. On the reverse, the central focus is the historic Liberty Bell. To the right of the bell, a small eagle with spread wings is visible. The reverse is completed by the traditional motto "E Pluribus Unum" and the face value, "HALF DOLLAR."
