1959 Franklin Half Dollar PF-67* NGC
This 1959 half dollar represents a beautiful moment in mid-century American coinage, struck as a proof coin at the Philadelphia mint. Made of 90 percent silver with a precious metal content of 0.3575 troy ounces, this piece has been graded as Proof 67 with a special star designation, indicating exceptional eye appeal for its grade. The obverse of the coin features a right-facing profile of Benjamin Franklin, one of America's most famous founding figures. Accompanying his portrait are the classic inscriptions of LIBERTY and IN GOD WE TRUST, alongside the 1959 date. Because it was minted in Philadelphia, the coin carries no mint mark. On the reverse, the iconic Liberty Bell takes center stage. To its left, the traditional motto E PLURIBUS UNUM is inscribed, while an eagle with spread wings sits to the right. The legend and the fifty-cent denomination frame the central design, completing a classic piece of United States numismatic history.
