Franklin Half dollars

Issued from 1948 to 1963, the Franklin half dollar replaced the Walking Liberty

half dollar. Featuring the bust of Benjamin Franklin on the obverse and the

famed Liberty Bell on the reverse, as well as a very small eagle. The eagle was

required by law as a design element on the coin and thus appears more of an after thought. A complete collection of this series is very affordable, even in uncirculated grades and is very popular to collect.
