Benjamin Franklin’s passionate dedication to our young nation and his diligence to his work were crucial in America’s seminal stages. Throughout his career, he proved to be an innovative inventor, who brought sight to those who couldn’t see with his invention of the bifocal. Franklin’s interest in the sciences led to his monumental discoveries about electricity. As a highly respected American, Franklin was tasked with helping to draft the Declaration of Independence. Franklin even negotiated the Treaty of Paris in 1783, which ultimately ended the American Revolutionary War. Finally, right before his death, Franklin made his biggest impact as he worked to draft the Constitution of the United States of America.
With so many accomplishments, it is no surprise that Mint Director Nellie Tayloe Ross’ goal was to place Benjamin Franklin on a U.S. coin. Ross had to make a decision between replacing the Walking Liberty on the half dollar or replacing Abraham Lincoln on the penny. She decided that Franklin would be placed on the half dollar so as to not dishonor Prefsident Lincoln. The 90% silver Franklin Half Dollar began production in 1948 and continued to be minted until 1963. Don’t miss out on your chance to add this set of ten stunning We The People Franklin Half Dollars in Proof 67 condition to your collection for the low, low price of just $1,595!
