Introduced in 1948 by the United States Mint, the Franklin Half Dollar replaced the Walking Liberty Half Dollar, a coin that had been produced for circulation since 1916. The series was created to honor Benjamin Franklin, one of the nation’s most respected Founding Fathers. It was also a notable change in U.S. coinage, as it became the first regular-issue coin to feature the image of a non-president on the obverse. This 1958 Franklin Half Dollar has a beautiful PF68 certification and Cameo designation for its proof visuals. Right now, the 1958 Franklin Half Dollar is available at JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
This 1958 Franklin Half Dollar is a PF68 specimen with a cameo designation, indicating strong contrast between the devices and fields. The coin has blast-white surfaces on both sides, with deep, mirror-like fields and thick frost on the devices. With a crisp strike and notably pristine surfaces, this coin lives up to its PR68 certification.
The 1958 Franklin Half Dollar was struck at the Philadelphia and Denver mints, with Philadelphia producing approximately 4.0 million coins and Denver minting about 23.9 million pieces. The Philadelphia issue from this year is notably scarcer than the Denver production, making it more sought-after by collectors, especially in uncirculated condition. The 1958-D is common in most grades but remains popular for its sharp strikes and availability. As one of the later dates in the series, 1958 Franklin Half Dollars were produced during a period when coin collecting was gaining popularity in America, leading to more pieces being saved from circulation in pristine condition.
The obverse of the 1958 Franklin Half Dollar depicts a right-facing portrait of Benjamin Franklin. The design was based on a bust created by French sculptor Jean-Antoine Houdon. Franklin is shown without headwear, which was considered unusual for U.S. coin designs during that era. The inscription “LIBERTY” curves along the left side of the obverse, while “IN GOD WE TRUST” appears in smaller lettering to the right of Franklin’s portrait.
The reverse side of the 1958 Franklin Half Dollar prominently features the Liberty Bell in the center of the design. The Liberty Bell is widely recognized as an enduring symbol of American independence. To the right of the bell is a small eagle, included to meet the legal requirement that all United States half dollars must feature an eagle. The inscriptions “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA” and “HALF DOLLAR” curve along the top and bottom of the coin, while “E PLURIBUS UNUM” is positioned above the Liberty Bell.
