Offered is a 1958 Franklin Half Dollar with Full Bell Lines (FBL), struck at the Philadelphia Mint. This is a desirable issue from the Franklin Half Dollar series, particularly for collectors seeking strong detail on the Liberty Bell. Please review the photos for the exact grade, surfaces, luster, and overall condition. The Franklin Half Dollar was designed by John R. Sinnock and John Frederick Lewis and was produced from 1948 through 1963. The 1958 Philadelphia issue had a relatively low mintage of approximately 4 million coins, making it one of the lower-mintage regular Franklin Half Dollars. The coin is composed of 90% silver and 10% copper, weighs 12.5 grams, and contains approximately 0.3617 troy ounces of pure silver. The FBL (Full Bell Lines) designation indicates strong, uninterrupted horizontal lines across the lower portion of the Liberty Bell on the reverse—a highly sought-after characteristic among Franklin Half Dollar collectors.
