CoinFacts Details

Owner's Comments

The Franklin Half is a strange coin, with a ridiculously small eagle and flat, bland obverse. The coin honors a great American and fits squarely between the beautiful Renaissance Walking Liberty and the modern politician Kennedy design. This example is superb, with deep luster emanating through fantastic color. From Larry Shapiro.
