You may receive coins of any year, which includes receiving coins that are all from the same year.
For those investors, and even collectors, not interested in paying the higher premiums associated with premium bullion and proof coinage bearing iconic imagery, it is still possible to get involved in precious metal investing and collecting. 90% Silver coins from previous circulation in the United States are an excellent, affordable option. Right now, 90% Silver Franklin Half dollars are available to purchase online from JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
Each of the 90% Silver Franklin Half Dollar coins in this listing are in BU condition. Coins in BU condition exhibit no signs of wear and tear, though you may notice a range of minor flaws including breaks in the luster, spotted surfaces, and contact marks from the coining process at the mint.
Starting in 1933, US Mint Director Nellie Tayloe Ross wanted to see the man she admired on the nation’s coinage. However, the quarter had just been redesigned in 1932 to feature George Washington. The Walking Liberty Half Dollar and Mercury Dime could be changed without Congressional approval in 1940, but World War II interfered.
The high demand for coins during World War II made it difficult to replace designs, with the half dollar and dime eligible as of 1940. In 1946, the dime was redesigned to honor the recently deceased President Franklin D. Roosevelt. That left the Walking Liberty Half Dollar to be replaced with Franklin’s likeness. Benjamin Franklin appeared on the obverse of the half dollar from 1948 until 1964.
Today, pre-1964 US silver coinage is a great source of affordable investments for precious metal collectors. The 90% silver status of the coins makes them less expensive than current bullion coinage, but they still bear engaging designs that at one point in time captivated the nation.
On the obverse of the 90% Silver Franklin Half Dollar coin is the image of Benjamin Franklin in right-profile relief. It was created by Chief Engraver of the United States Mint, John R. Sinnock. It included the words “Liberty” above and “In God We Trust” below, with a year of issue to the right of Franklin.
The reverse of all Franklin Half Dollar coins includes the Liberty Bell as the primary design feature, however, US law requires the American bald eagle to appear on the reverse of all American coinage. As such, a small heraldic eagle was added to the right of the Liberty Bell image.

"I bought a roll of these a few years ago. I wanted another roll and jumped when it was available. No matter the year, I felt I paid "fake" mass produced paper for "real" money and a piece of history! Very nice coins."
"My third time ordering and could not be more happy, excellent condition. Very happy"
"The coins are just as described, but as a collector hoping to start on my Jefferson book, I was quite disappointed that all 20 coins were 1963-D (the last year and most produced). It does say in the description they could be all from the same year, but I've gotten other rolls from JMB and there was quite a variety. If you are looking to get these for stacking purposes they are a great choice. The roll also came in a plastic tube instead of a paper roll which was a bonus."
"I received my order. Coins were all 1963-D. This is OK. However, it should state on the website if they are all going to be one type---All other coin retailers do......Pretty important when you are paying so much more than the spot price."
