The 1952 Franklin Half Dollar is a piece of U.S. currency minted from 90% silver and 10% copper.
Designed by John R. Sinnock, it features Benjamin Franklin on the obverse and the Liberty Bell on the reverse.
Mint marks 'D' for Denver, 'S' for San Francisco, and no mark for Philadelphia indicate the coin's origin.
Uncirculated coins or those with Full Bell Lines (FBL) are highly sought after by collectors.
The value can range from $10 for circulated coins to over $600 for rare mint conditions.
Special sets, like proof coins from the Philadelphia mint, can fetch higher prices.
Condition, demand, and silver market prices significantly influence the coin's value.
Grading services like PCGS and NGC can certify the condition, adding to the coin's credibility.
Keep an eye on auctions and coin shows for market trends and potential value increases.
Proper storage and handling are essential to maintain the coin's condition and value over time.
