1949-D Franklin Half Dollar — CAC XF45 — Attractive Original Toning
A pleasing 1949-D Franklin Half Dollar certified by CAC Grading as XF45. This early Denver Mint Franklin displays an attractive, naturally circulated appearance with warm gray-brown toning across both sides.
Franklin’s portrait remains well defined, with clear lettering and date, while the reverse retains strong detail throughout the Liberty Bell, eagle, and surrounding legends. The even coloration gives the coin an appealing original appearance that should appeal to collectors who prefer naturally toned, circulated silver rather than bright or processed surfaces.
The 1949-D is an early-date Franklin Half Dollar, struck during only the second year of the Franklin series, making it a desirable addition to a circulated Franklin set.
