Production commenced in 1948 at the Philadelphia and Denver Mints, while the San Francisco Mint struck its first Franklin Half Dollars in 1949. The release of the new half dollar was just one year after the first Mint Sets were sold to the general public, containing two examples of each denomination struck at any of the three Mints in use at the time
