1954-S Franklin Half Dollar MS-64 PCGS (FBL)
This 1954 silver half dollar, minted in San Francisco, offers a wonderful look at mid twentieth century American coinage. The obverse presents a right facing profile of Benjamin Franklin, one of the nation's most famous founding figures. Accompanying his portrait are the classic inscriptions of liberty and trust that characterize United States currency. On the reverse, the iconic Liberty Bell takes center stage, flanked by a small eagle with its wings spread wide. This specific coin has been graded Mint State 64 (MS-64) and carries the prestigious Full Bell Lines designation. This means the horizontal lines on the lower portion of the bell are exceptionally sharp and complete, a detail highly prized by those who appreciate the finer points of coin design and striking quality. Struck from 90 percent silver, this half dollar contains 0.3575 troy ounces of precious metal. Designed by John R. Sinnock, the coin stands as a beautifully preserved example of the Franklin series, showcasing the crisp artistry of the San Francisco Mint during this era.
