The Franklin Half Dollar series was relatively short lived. The coin was only issued for 16 years between 1948 and 1963. During this time, coins were produced at the Philadelphia, Denver, and San Francisco Mints, although there were many years when one or more of the Mints did not produce coins.

The lowest mintage coin of the series is the 1955 Franklin Half. The key date of the series is generally considered to be the 1949-D Franklin Half. Below you will find full details of Franklin Half Dollar mintages. This information is for coins struck for circulation and does not include proof coins.
