Additional Description: The 1962 U.S. Silver Half Dollar stands near the close of the Franklin series, a design that favored historical sobriety over romantic symbolism. Struck in 90% silver at both the Philadelphia and Denver Mints, the coin reflects a time when silver still underpinned American coinage, though economic pressures were already beginning to erode its place in everyday use. On the obverse, Benjamin Franklin’s profile appears without flourish—deliberately plain, a tribute to intellect and civic virtue rather than political power. The reverse features the Liberty Bell, flanked by a modest eagle, whose inclusion was mandated rather than inspired.
