The 1963 Silver Franklin Half Dollar is the final year of issue in the beloved Franklin series, struck in 90% silver at the height of early 1960s numismatics. Designed by John R. Sinnock, the obverse features a bold profile of Benjamin Franklin, while the reverse displays the iconic Liberty Bell alongside a small eagle—symbolizing American independence and strength. As the last proof before the introduction of the Kennedy Half Dollar in 1964, this coin holds special historical significance.
