Additional Description: The 1958 U.S. Silver Half Dollar is part of the Franklin series, a distinctive departure from traditional allegorical coinage that emphasized historical realism over classical symbolism. Designed by John R. Sinnock and struck in 90% silver, the coin features a dignified portrait of Benjamin Franklin—polymath, patriot, and symbol of American Enlightenment ideals. On the reverse, the Liberty Bell stands prominently, its iconic crack visible, accompanied by a small eagle to satisfy the legal requirement for heraldic imagery.
