It looks like you have common curculated Franklyn halves that are worth there value as silver. You would have to have uncurculated examples to be worth more.
Rest in Peace

If your coins are like the one you just posted , then my advice to you would be wait 4-8 weeks then go ahead and use your ping pong table again after you turn in those nasty looking Frankie's for melt . It's just a thought ,but maybe after Trump takes over, Silver and Gold might wake up from their coma .

Franklin halves in my mind are always worth more than their melt weight. They aren't making new ones and the ones that are out there are can only go down in quality. They have a classic design and will always have demand.

Definitely complete the set! I'm debating putting together a MS business strike set at the moment.

Likewise. It was the first set/album I completed and one of my favorites to date.

Franklins are one of my favorite coins to collect, I have a complete set and love them. I would definitely complete the set and replace as you get better grades.

If you got an "immense collection", I wouldn't even worry about completing the set. I would just keep anything silver regardless.

I'm kind of partial to the Franklin's as well. I have the series in a Whitman album.
Ben Franklin was quite remarkable. A founding father and a true Renaissance man. The Liberty Bell reverse is very nice as well.

Go ahead, complete the collection!
