Up for auction/sale is a high-grade early date 1949-S Franklin Half Dollar certified MS-63 (Mint State 63) by NGC (Numismatic Guaranty Company).

Struck at the legendary San Francisco Mint during the second year of the series, the 1949-S holds the distinct title of having the lowest mintage of any San Francisco Franklin Half Dollar (just 3,744,000 struck). Because of this low mintage, the 1949-S is widely recognized by numismatists as a key early-date issue in the entire series. Housed in a certified NGC holder, this brilliant blast-white specimen offers booming luster and fantastic eye appeal for any registry set or 90% silver collection.
