1955 Franklin Half Dollar PR-66 PCGS
The 1955 Franklin Half Dollar stands as a remarkable example of mid-century American coinage. Struck in 90% silver, this particular piece contains 0.3575 troy ounces of precious metal and has been certified in Proof 66 condition. The high grade highlights the meticulous craftsmanship and polished finishes characteristic of proof strikes from this era. The obverse of the coin presents a right-facing profile of Benjamin Franklin, one of America's most influential founding figures. Surrounding his portrait are the classic inscriptions of "LIBERTY" and "IN GOD WE TRUST", alongside the 1955 year of issue. This clean, dignified portrait was designed by John R. Sinnock. On the reverse, the historic Liberty Bell takes center stage, complete with its famous crack. To the right of the bell, a small eagle with spread wings is visible, fulfilling the traditional requirement for the denomination. The reverse is completed with the inscriptions "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA", the Latin motto "E PLURIBUS UNUM", and the face value of "HALF DOLLAR".
