United States Half Dollar (Reverse)

This item is a United States Half Dollar coin, specifically the reverse side. The coin appears to be made of a silver-colored metal, likely a silver alloy given the typical composition of older US half dollars, though without a clear date, a precise material cannot be confirmed. The diameter is consistent with a standard half dollar. The central motif on the reverse is an architectural rendering of Independence Hall, a prominent historical building with a symmetrical facade, multiple windows, and a distinctive clock tower at its center. Above the building, the inscription "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA" is clearly visible in an arc. Below the building, the denomination "HALF DOLLAR" is inscribed. The coin exhibits a moderate amount of wear consistent with circulation, particularly on the raised elements of the building and the lettering, which show some softening of detail. There are no obvious signs of significant damage like deep scratches or significant discoloration, but a subtle, somewhat muted luster suggests a natural patina rather than recent cleaning. The overall craftsmanship appears to be of standard mint quality for a circulating coin of its presumed era. Without the obverse or a clearer view of the mint mark or year, specific manufacturing details or an exact age cannot be determined, but the design points to a mid-20th century era, likely a Franklin Half Dollar (1948-1963), which notably features Independence Hall on its reverse.
