Description: NEW 1952 D Ben Franklin Silver Half Dollar Proof Roll US Mint Coin Uncirculated plus 2 free silver pieces per picture Originally Purchased from JEM COLLECTIBLES Brand new and unopened so the pictures not perfectly clear This design was the final work of John R. Sinnock, mint engraver, who also designed the long running Roosevelt Dime as well as the Sesquicentennial Half Dollar and $2.50 Gold Commemoratives. The obverse and reverse models of the Benjamin Franklin Half were completed only a few weeks before his death in May of 1947.Proof specimens were struck at the Philadelphia Mint from 1950 through 1963. While still an affordable series for most collectors, finding boldly struck specimens can be surprisingly difficult with certain issues being truly scarce.
