1963 Franklin Half Dollars
This marked the abrupt end to the Franklin Half Dollar series. Although coin series were required to run for at least 25 years before a change of designs, this time it was cut short by the assassination of President Kennedy. New legislation was quickly introduced to place Kennedy on the half dollar and overrule the 25 year requirement. Although not particularly popular during its short run, the Franklin Half has been the focus of many series modern collectors.
