Set of three U.S. silver half dollars in display case
History
This collection features three iconic U.S. silver half dollars from the mid-20th century: a Walking Liberty half dollar (1916-1947), a Franklin half dollar (1948-1963), and a Kennedy half dollar (1964). These coins represent the final era of substantial silver content in U.S. circulating coinage before the transition to copper-nickel clad compositions in 1965. Such sets are particularly valued by numismatists and collectors of 20th century American coins for their historical significance and silver content. Each coin represents a distinct chapter in American coinage design, with the Walking Liberty half dollar being especially admired for its artistic merit. The set appeals to both beginning collectors seeking representative examples of classic U.S. silver coins and experienced numismatists looking to complete type collections.
