The coin is composed of silver with a fineness of 0.9 and has a strike type of proof. It features the image of Benjamin Franklin on the obverse and the Liberty Bell with a small Eagle on the reverse. This earlier year proof coin (first year for proof Franklins was 1950) was minted in Philadelphia and is considered uncirculated with a proof strike with a rarer Premium Gem grade. As any Franklin collector knows, the earlier years for these proof coins gets much tougher! The coin is encapsulated in an PCGS holder and boasts an original look that comes much clean than most at this grade. For those of you chasing earlier year proof Franklin Proofs, you know that they don't always come as mint fresh as this one! Despite not having the CAMEO designation, this specimen absolutely has some frosty contrast between the devices and fields on both sides! The Franklin half dollar had a shortened life of only 16 years (only 14 years for proofs) due to the assassination of John F. Kennedy in 1963. In 1964, the Franklin half dollar was replaced by the Kennedy half in honor of our fallen President. This Franklin half dollar is an excellent addition to any coin collection and a great piece of American history and is a great value considering its attractive vintage look.
