1953 S are very uncommon, but I don't see any 1953 S/S listed in FBL anywhere. So...

Hi Lisa this rarity is a very weakly strikes and are rarely found with full bell lines it is the 1953s, franklin half dollars

[Elbesaar]

The 1953- S

 

Its extremely rare in true Full Bell Lines

[Elbesaar]

I'd like to ammend my answer...

 

Its not the 1953-S Franklin

 

Full Bell Lines are NEVER found on Washington Carver Halves.

 

Trick question...huh ?

 

 

[Bugmann1974]

Let me start this by saying that there is no Date/Mint mark of Franklin Halfs that have had no FBL coins found.

 

However, by far the scarcest is the 1953S.

[gottahaveit-migration]

the only issue to not have full bell lines of the 1953 franklin half dollar would be the proof version, have a great week

Hi, Lisa: I know this won't make a "hill of beans" difference to anyone BUT the correct answer is not "WashingtonCarver" (one person - George Washington Carver). The correct answer is the "Carver/Washington Commemorative (two people - George Washington Carver and Booker T.Washington). Call me picky if you like - that is why I am a nerdy coin collector who maybe pays too much attention to detail!! Were you ever going to respond to my PM sent back in April?
