1958 Franklin Half Dollar MS-65 NGC (FBL)
Struck in Philadelphia during the late 1950s, this ninety percent silver half dollar presents a classic mid-century American design. The obverse features a right-facing portrait of Benjamin Franklin, one of the nation's most famous founding figures. Accompanying his likeness are the inscriptions of liberty and the traditional national motto, alongside the 1958 production year. Because this piece was minted in Philadelphia, it does not bear a mint mark. The reverse of the coin displays the iconic Liberty Bell, complete with a small eagle with its wings spread wide to the right. This specific coin has earned the Full Bell Lines designation, meaning the horizontal lines on the lower portion of the Liberty Bell are exceptionally sharp and fully defined. Finding these delicate details intact is a testament to the quality of the strike and the coin's remarkable state of preservation, which has been officially graded as Mint State 65.
