1963-D Franklin Silver Half Dollar Uncirculated
1963-D Franklin Silver Half Dollar Uncirculated
This 1963-D Franklin silver half dollar is an uncirculated specimen featuring a sharp strike and original mint luster. Struck at the Denver Mint, as indicated by the D mint mark located above the Liberty Bell on the reverse, this coin represents the final year of the Franklin half dollar series. The obverse showcases the profile of Founding Father Benjamin Franklin, while the reverse displays the iconic Liberty Bell with a small heraldic eagle to the right. Composed of 90% silver, this uncirculated coin is a prime example of mid-century American coinage, making it a desirable addition for collectors looking for high-quality silver assets from the end of this historic design's production run.
1963-D Franklin Silver Half Dollar Uncirculated
Condition: This item appears to be in uncirculated condition, retaining much of its original luster with minimal surface marks and no significant signs of wear on the high points of Benjamin Franklin's bust or the Liberty Bell. The mint mark D is clearly visible above the bell, indicating it was struck at the Denver Mint. The metal content for this 1963 issue consists of 90% silver and 10% copper. Historically, 1963 was the final year of the Franklin Half Dollar series before it was replaced by the Kennedy Half Dollar in 1964. This specimen is a business strike rather than a proof, featuring a standard finish consistent with circulation-quality coinage intended for commerce, though it has been preserved in a high state of grade. No professional third-party grading is present on the holder.
