Description
Even though modern circulating coins are no longer made of silver, you can still purchase these 90% silver Franklin half dollars, which circulated throughout the country for years. Silver half dollars were common in pocket change until the 1960s, when wise collectors picked them out of circulation and the US Mint eliminated silver from American coinage. They are still prized both collectors and investors.
Highlights of these coins:
- Legal tender coinage produced the US Mint from 1948-1963.
- These coins were common in circulation until silver was removed from US coinage in 1965.
- Comprised of 90% silver, 10% copper; each dollar of face value contains about 0.715 troy ounces of silver.
- 90% silver half dollars are a commonly traded and widely recognized investment product.
- Since their value is based primarily on silver content rather than collectible value, “junk silver” coins are one of the lowest-premium US Mint products available.
