1957-D Franklin Half Dollar MS-65 PCGS (FBL)
The 1957 half dollar brings together two powerful symbols of American heritage. On the obverse, a right-facing portrait of Benjamin Franklin captures the likeness of one of the nation's most famous founders. This side is framed by the classic inscriptions of liberty and trust, alongside the 1957 year of issue. Turning the coin over reveals the iconic Liberty Bell, complete with its famous crack. To the right of the bell, a small eagle with outspread wings stands out. The reverse also bears the traditional motto of national unity and the fifty-cent denomination. This particular specimen is struck in 90% silver, containing 0.3575 troy ounces of the precious metal. This specific coin has been graded in Mint State 65 (MS-65) condition. It also carries the coveted Full Bell Lines designation, which indicates an exceptional level of detail on the horizontal lines at the bottom of the Liberty Bell, a feature highly prized by enthusiasts who appreciate the finer points of coin design and preservation.
