1956 Franklin Half Dollar Type-I PR-67 PCGS
1956 Franklin Half Dollar Type-I PR-67 PCGS
This mid-century proof coin showcases the classic Benjamin Franklin portrait, captured in a profile facing to the right. Minted in Philadelphia during 1956, the obverse features the traditional inscriptions of liberty and trust alongside the date. The silver half dollar has been certified at a high proof grade of sixty-seven, highlighting the preservation of its original surfaces. On the reverse, the iconic Liberty Bell takes center stage, flanked by a small eagle on the right. This specific Type I variety is distinguished by subtle design characteristics on the eagle itself. Observers will notice a lack of defined feathers on the bird's chest, while each of its wings displays exactly four feathers. The reverse also bears the traditional motto of unity and the denomination.
