1963-D Franklin Silver Half Dollar Uncirculated

1963-D Franklin Silver Half Dollar Uncirculated

This 1963-D Franklin Half Dollar is an uncirculated specimen struck at the Denver Mint, featuring the D mint mark clearly visible above the Liberty Bell on the reverse. Composed of 90% silver, this coin represents the final year of the Franklin Half Dollar series before the design was changed to honor John F. Kennedy. The obverse showcases the profile of Benjamin Franklin, while the reverse depicts the iconic Liberty Bell with a small eagle to the right. As an uncirculated coin, it retains its original mint luster and sharp design details, making it a desirable addition for collectors seeking a high-quality example of this historic mid-century silver coinage.
