1963 Franklin Silver Half Dollar PCGS MS64
Condition: This item is in Mint State condition, professionally graded MS64 by PCGS. The surfaces exhibit original mint luster with typical light contact marks consistent with the assigned grade. This specimen was struck at the Philadelphia Mint, as indicated by the absence of a mint mark above the Liberty Bell on the reverse. Composed of 90% silver and 10% copper, this coin represents the final year of the Franklin Half Dollar series before it was replaced by the Kennedy Half Dollar in 1964. The strike type is a standard business strike, featuring the bust of Benjamin Franklin on the obverse and the Liberty Bell on the reverse. Historical context is significant as this 1963 issue marks the conclusion of a series that began in 1948, designed by John R. Sinnock. The grading is officially certified by PCGS with the certificate number 37586962.
