You will receive the Franklin Half Dollar Date Set Collection in a 7" x 7" acrylic holder. Diameter: 30.6mm Denomination: Half Dollar Measures: 7"L x 7"W x 1"H; weighs 1 lbs. The obverse features the bust of Benjamin Franklin. The reverse has the Liberty Bell, a small eagle to the right of the Liberty Bell and the words "United States Of America" and "Half Dollar". The Franklin half dollar is a coin of the United States, minted from 1948 to 1963. The coin pictured Benjamin Franklin on the obverse and the Liberty Bell on the reverse. A small eagle to the right of the bell was necessitated by law; ironically, Franklin himself had opposed the selection of the eagle as the US national symbol, preferring the turkey as a "more noble bird". A bill rushed through Congress after the assassination of John F. Kennedy caused the Franklin half to be replaced by the current Kennedy half dollar in February 1964, nine years before the design would otherwise have been eligible for a change. less
