1957 Franklin Half Dollar MS-65 PCGS
Struck at the Philadelphia Mint in 1957, this United States half dollar represents a classic era of American silver coinage. The coin is composed of 90 percent silver, containing 0.3575 troy ounces of the precious metal. This particular specimen has been certified in Mint State 65 (MS-65) condition, indicating its superb state of preservation with minimal marks and original luster. The obverse features a right-facing portrait of Benjamin Franklin, one of America's most famous founding figures. Surrounding his profile are the inscriptions LIBERTY and IN GOD WE TRUST, along with the 1957 date. Because it was minted in Philadelphia, the coin carries no mint mark. On the reverse, the iconic Liberty Bell takes center stage, complete with its famous crack. To the right of the bell, a small eagle with spread wings is depicted, a design element required by law. The reverse inscriptions include the denomination of half dollar, the country of origin, and the traditional motto E PLURIBUS UNUM.
