Description
Final-year Franklin Half Dollars are a favorite among collectors, and this 1963-D example carries the Denver Mint's "D" mintmark. Struck in 90% silver, it contains approximately .3617 troy ounces of pure silver.
The obverse features Benjamin Franklin, while the reverse showcases the Liberty Bell alongside the small eagle. The Franklin Half Dollar series was produced from 1948 through 1963, making this coin part of the final chapter of the series.
With its final-year date, Denver mintmark, and classic silver composition, this piece is a fitting addition to any collection of vintage U.S. coinage.
