1954 S Ben Franklin Half Dollar

Notes: Coins from the San Francisco mint in CA have the mint mark S, this mark can be found above the liberty bell on the reverse side (back) on the Ben Franklins. They minted 7 thousand short of 5 million. If I ran the mint i would have left it on by mistake until it at least reached 5 Million :) That's like running a marathon and stopping the last 50 yards. The rare FBL (Full Bell Line) versions of the Franklin Half Dollar are worth between $35 and $660 depending upon overall grade and quality of bell lines.

How much is a 1954 S Ben Franklin Half Dollar worth?

In Average Circulated (AC) condition it's worth around $12.25, one in certified mint state (MS+) condition could bring as much as $48 at auction. This price does not reference any standard coin grading scale. So when we say Average Circulated, we mean in a similar condition to other coins circulated in 1954, and mint state meaning it is certified MS+ by one of the top coin grading companies. *** [?].
