1948 P or D & 1963 P or D Franklin Silver Half Dollar Pair Very Fine to Brilliant Uncirculated

Product Description

1948 P or D Franklin Silver Half Dollar VF: Half dollar mintages have generally been the lowest of America's circulation coinage. For example, only one of this first-date 1948 Franklin silver half dollar was struck for every 10 Washington quarters and every 23 Roosevelt dimes output that year! Between the Philadelphia and Denver Mint, just over seven million 90% Franklins were struck in 1948; later individual mintages in the series would reach as high as 67 million! Very Fine quality. Our choice of Philadelphia or Denver issue based on availabilty.

1963 P or D Franklin Silver Half Dollar BU: When the Franklin series was authorized in 1948, it was expected to run for the next 25 years. But 1963 would be its final year of production; the series was cut short after President Kennedy's assassination in favor of a half dollar memorializing the fallen leader. Although these 1963 specimens were output more than six decades ago, they remain in superb BU condition. Our choice of Philadelphia or Denver issue based on availabilty.
