1960 Franklin Half Dollar MS-64 NGC (FBL)
The 1960 Franklin Half Dollar represents a classic era of United States silver coinage. Struck in 90 percent silver with a pure metal weight of 0.3575 troy ounces, this mid-century coin honors one of America's most influential founding figures. The obverse features a right-facing portrait of Benjamin Franklin, accompanied by the inscriptions LIBERTY and IN GOD WE TRUST, alongside the 1960 date. This design was created by John R. Sinnock. On the reverse, the iconic Liberty Bell takes center stage, flanked by a small eagle with spread wings. This side of the coin features the traditional motto E PLURIBUS UNUM, the country name UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, and the denomination HALF DOLLAR. This specific specimen is graded Mint State 64 and has earned the Full Bell Lines designation, meaning the horizontal lines on the lower portion of the Liberty Bell are exceptionally well-defined and complete, a detail highly prized by numismatic enthusiasts.
