PRODUCT DETAILS:

1953-S Franklin Silver Half Dollar Coin - Choice Uncirculated Condition

COIN HIGHLIGHTS:

  • The obverse features a profile image of founding father Benjamin Franklin, designed by John R. Sinnock. You'll also find the coin's date, as well as the motto "IN GOD WE TRUST" and the word "LIBERTY" on the front of the coin. 
  • The reverse design shows an image of the Liberty Bell. This design is similar to the one featured on the 1926 Sesquicentennial Half Dollar, which was also designed by Sinnock. Next to the Liberty Bell you'll find an eagle, as well as the motto "IN GOD WE TRUST." Above it are the words "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA" and below it is the coin's denomination.  
  • Mintage of 4,148,000 coins.
  • Struck at the San Francisco Mint in 90% Silver.
  • All coins grade MS-63 or higher!


The Franklin Half Dollar was quite popular and circulated widely, but its run was cut short after the assassination of President John F. Kennedy and the subsequent introduction of the Kennedy Half Dollar honoring the slain president.

As the price of silver rose in the 1960's and skyrocketed in the late 1970's, millions of these coins were melted for their silver value.

  • Great luster. Gorgeous coin. Is price is similar to other places, go with MP for best quality.
  • These Franklins are fantastic! So far have ordered 15 of them and not once have these coins failed to impress me. Will continue to order more. You will not be disappointed with the quality of these coins.
  • Received exactly as described!
  • Grading is conservative. Product well packed, and not readily recognizable as coins. The coin I received virtually "danced before my eyes" because of the beauty of the strike and the mint frost. I will continue to buy from these nice folks.
  • couldn't be happier with the quality of this coin.
