A lovely, frosty Gem Proof, there are no mentionable hairlines on either side, while the mirrors are glassy and reflective, gleaming white throughout.

The Franklin half dollar was the last work of their designer, Mint Engraver John R. Sinnock, who also created the Roosevelt dime. At the request of Mint Director Nellie Tayloe Ross, he completed the obverse and reverse models only a few weeks before his death (May 1947). The half-dollar design was legally changeable any time after July 1, 1941, but escalated wartime demands for coins occasioned the delay. Proofs were not struck in either 1948 or 1949.
