Description and History
The half dollar has been struck with few interruptions from the beginning of U.S. coinage to the present day. These were sanctioned originally in the Coinage Act of 1792, and the half dollar has been one of the foundational coins of the U.S. monetary system till it fell out of favor in the late 20th century. Half dollars were first minted in 1794. The Franklin half dollar was struck from 1948 to 1963 when it was phased out in favor of the Kennedy half dollar mere months after his assassination.
