I'm trying to figure out whether my 1950 Franklin coin has a mintmark. I'm not sure where to look or what to look for. Can someone help me identify if it has a mintmark?

In 1950, two mints produced Franklin half dollars.

Each mint used a different method to identify its coins. Specifically, the presence or absence of a mintmark on the reverse side distinguished them.

Collectors who aim to complete sets of half dollars need both varieties of 1950 Franklin halves. These coins are highly valued by numismatics enthusiasts.

The value of these coins can vary based on their date and mint combination. This narrow range of values makes them particularly sought-after by collectors.

One variety features a "D" mintmark on the reverse side. This mintmark indicates that the coin was struck at the Denver Mint.
