1955 Franklin Half Dollar MS-63 PCGS (FBL)
This mid-century silver coin from 1955 showcases the right-facing profile of Benjamin Franklin on its obverse. Surrounding his portrait are the traditional inscriptions of liberty and trust, along with the date of issue. The design was created by John R. Sinnock, offering a clean and dignified representation of one of America's most famous founding figures. The reverse of the coin features the iconic Liberty Bell as its central focus. To the left of the bell, the phrase meaning 'out of many, one' is visible, while a small eagle sits to the right. The name of the issuing nation is inscribed above the bell, and the face value of fifty cents is displayed below. This specific piece has been certified in Mint State 63 condition, with the highly sought-after Full Bell Lines designation, indicating that the horizontal details on the lower portion of the bell are exceptionally well-defined and complete.
