1963-D Franklin Silver Half Dollar Uncirculated
This 1963-D Franklin Half Dollar is an uncirculated specimen featuring a composition of 90% silver and 10% copper.

This uncirculated silver coin retains its original mint luster and sharp strike details, making it a desirable piece for collectors focusing on mid-century American coinage and precious metal history.
1963-D Franklin Silver Half Dollar Uncirculated
Condition: This item is in uncirculated condition, exhibiting original mint luster and sharp details on both the obverse portrait of Benjamin Franklin and the reverse imagery of the Liberty Bell. The surfaces show minor bag marks and contact marks consistent with bulk storage at the mint, but the coin remains without wear from circulation. The mint mark D is clearly visible above the yoke of the bell, indicating it was produced at the Denver Mint. Struck in 90% silver and 10% copper, this piece represents the final year of the Franklin Half Dollar series before it was replaced by the Kennedy design. This is a standard business strike type and is not professionally graded by a third-party service. Historical context is significant as 1963 marked the end of an era for this specific design, which had been in production since 1948 to honor one of America's most influential founding fathers.
