This estate auction lot features a collector-assembled group of Franklin Half Dollars, spanning 1955 through 1963, with a strong concentration of Denver Mint (D) issues. Franklin half dollars are struck in 90% silver and are widely collected for their classic mid-century design and bullion content.
Several coins in this group are collector-noted as FBL (Full Bell Lines)—a designation referring to the horizontal lines at the bottom of the Liberty Bell on the reverse. Clear, uninterrupted bell lines indicate a stronger strike, a key attribute actively sought by Franklin half dollar collectors.

Late-date Franklin half dollars with improved strike quality
-
90% silver U.S. coinage
-
Collector-identified Full Bell Lines examples
-
Attractive as a group for set building, upgrading, or silver collecting
Coins are housed individually in 2×2 cardboard holders with handwritten collector annotations.
