Of particular numismatic significance is the 1956 Franklin Half Dollar in brilliant uncirculated condition and the transitional 1965 Kennedy Half Dollar representing the change from 90% to 40% silver content. Both sets display exceptional preservation with original mint luster intact. A $25 price tag is visible in the top right corner of the cellophane.
Condition Notes:
Both sets remain sealed in their original U.S. Mint packaging with no apparent damage to the cellophane. All coins appear to be in uncirculated condition with original mint luster present. The Philadelphia Mint packaging shows mild toning/yellowing consistent with age. The upper set's packaging remains clear with minimal aging. No significant scratches, spots or toning visible on the coins themselves. Refer to the pictures and in person inspection for condition.
