1960-D Franklin Half Dollar MS-65 PCGS (FBL)
Struck at the Denver Mint in 1960, this ninety percent silver half dollar represents a classic era of United States coinage. The coin features a right-facing profile of Benjamin Franklin on the obverse, accompanied by the traditional inscriptions of liberty and trust. This design, created by John R. Sinnock, departed from the allegorical figures of previous half dollars to honor a historical American icon. The reverse displays the iconic Liberty Bell, complete with its famous crack, flanked by a small eagle with spread wings. This particular specimen has earned the Full Bell Lines distinction, meaning the horizontal lines on the lower portion of the Liberty Bell are exceptionally sharp and well-defined. Achieving such detail requires an incredibly clean strike, making this graded Mint State 65 coin a compelling subject for study.
