The 1949-S Franklin Half Dollar has one of the lowest mintages in the series. However, the 1955-P, 1953-P and 1948-P have a lower mintage. Despite there being other lower mintage coins in the Franklin Half Dollar series the 1949-S appears to be somewhat scarcer than the lower mintage coins. Examples in circulated grades are still easily obtainable but in grades of Extra Fine and higher this date seems to command slightly higher prices than most other coins in the series.
I have been trying to collect a 100 percent graded Franklin Half Dollar Collection. I finally found a 1949 S Franklin on Ebay. This was one of the last crucial pieces I needed to complete my collection. I have now completed my 100 percent graded Franklin Half Dollar collection. I have only PCGS and NCG graded coins. This was fun collecting this grouping. Although the 1949 S was a MS64 it still was a vital piece of my effort. The quality was what you would expect from an NCG coin. I would use the EBAY vender again because he quickly processed my order and I received it in 4 days in pristine condition.
