1961 and 1962 Franklin Half Dollar Pair
This auction features a remarkable pair of Franklin Half Dollars from 1961 and 1962, both struck at the Philadelphia Mint, where the 1961 coin boasts a mintage of 3,200,000 and the 1962 coin a slightly higher 3,950,000. While neither date is considered a key or semi-key within the series, their relative abundance does not diminish their appeal, especially in high-grade condition. The Franklin Half Dollar, designed by John R. Sinnock, commemorates the legacy of Benjamin Franklin, and these examples exhibit the classic design elements and craftsmanship of early 1960s U.S. coinage. Both coins are presented in choice condition, showcasing brilliant luster and minimal contact marks, which are critical for discerning collectors. The 1961 and 1962 issues are particularly sought after for registry sets, as they represent the final years of the Franklin series before the introduction of the Kennedy Half Dollar in 1964. With their historical significance and aesthetic appeal, these coins are excellent additions for any serious numismatic collection.
