Type: Franklin Half Dollar Designer: John R. Sinnock / John Frederick Lewis Content: 90% Silver, 10% Copper Weight: 12.50 grams Diameter: 30.00 millimeters Edge: Reeded Mint: Denver Production Strikes: 4,028,600 General Type Description: In 1948, John R. Sinnock, chief engraver of the Philadelphia Mint, produced a new design for the half dollar, to replace the Liberty Walking motif, which had been in use since 1916. The Franklin half dollar depicts a head and shoulders portrait of Franklin on the obverse, facing right, with LIBERTY above and IN GOD WE TRUST below. The date is to the right. The reverse depicts the Liberty Bell with UNITED STATES OF AMERICA above and HALF DOLLAR below. The motto E PLURIBUS UNUM is to the left while a small eagle is to the right, fulfilling the requirement of the Coinage Act of 1792 that an eagle appear on the reverse of all silver coins (that requirement was relaxed somewhat in 1837, when the half dime and dime were exempted). At the time of issue, the design was criticized by many, perhaps because it is rather plain in comparison to the “classic” Liberty Walking style. However, in recent years Franklin half dollars have emerged as popular pieces, and today are highly desired by numismatists. The type set collector can easily obtain a business strike in any desired grade from Very Fine to superb Uncirculated, although sharply struck Uncirculated pieces showing full bell lines on the reverse and other minutely detailed areas are elusive for some issues. Proofs were minted from 1950 through 1963 and are available in proportion to their original production quantities. (Source: Bowers, W. David. “United States Coins by Design Types - An Action Guide for the Collector and Investor”. Edited and updated by Mike Sherman, PCGS CoinFacts) Specific Issue Description: This is the first Franklin Half dollar struck at the Denver Mint and also the first year in which Franklin Half Dollars were produced. This year the Mint only struck 4,028,600 coins at the Denver Mint, a slightly higher amount of those struck at the Philadelphia Mint for the same year. For the most part, the 1948-D is considered a low mintage coin for the Franklin Half Dollar series since there are only 10 coins in the series which have a mintage lower than 5 million. The 1948-D is fairly common in circulated grades all the way up to about MS63 condition that it can be purchased at a premium tied silver melt values. In MS64 condition it tends to be a bit more difficult and doesn't always trade based of silver spot prices. In MS65 it is now less available with possibly no more than ten thousand coins in existence. In MS66 it is scarce where possibly 300-500 examples exist. In MS67 is almost unknown with the exception of one sole example certified MS67 with the FBL designation by PCGS and none being finer. (Source: Hernandez, Jaime.

The 1948-D Franklin Half is the first coin struck at the Denver Mint for this series. It's mintage is just over 4 million so not a rare date but also not a common date. It is only common in circulated grades and up to MS62 grade more or less. Examples in MS63 and even MS64 can still be found in rolls or mint sets. Examples in MS65 have probably already been pulled from rolls. In MS66 condition they are very scarce with several hundred still available at a premium. In MS67 condition they are truly scarce with less than dozen known and none being finer.
