1961 Franklin Half Dollar PF-69 NGC
In 1961, the Philadelphia Mint produced a run of 3,028,244 proof half dollars, striking them with polished dies to achieve a mirror-like finish. This particular coin has survived in an extraordinary state of preservation, receiving a near-flawless grade of Proof 69. Because it was minted in Philadelphia during this era, it bears no mint mark. Struck in 90 percent silver, this half dollar contains 0.3575 troy ounces of precious metal. The obverse features the profile of Benjamin Franklin, accompanied by the legible inscriptions of the year 1961 and the traditional motto, "IN GOD WE TRUST." Collectors and history enthusiasts appreciate these mid-century issues for their crisp details and the distinct era of American coinage they represent.
