1951 Franklin Half Dollar PR-65 PCGS
In 1951, the Philadelphia Mint produced a limited run of proof coins, including a special half dollar featuring Benjamin Franklin on the obverse and the historic Liberty Bell on the reverse. With a mintage of only 57,500 pieces, these proof strikes were made with extra care, resulting in sharp details and reflective surfaces that stand out from the standard circulating coinage of the era. This particular specimen is certified in Proof 65 (PR-65) condition, showcasing the preservation of its design elements. Struck in 90 percent silver, the coin contains 0.3575 troy ounces of precious metal. Because it was minted in Philadelphia, it carries no mint mark, which is characteristic of the facility's coinage during this period.
