The 1950-P Franklin Half Dollar is one of about 20 different issues that has a mintage under 10 million for the series. There are about 15 other issues which have a mintage of over 10 million. Therefore, the 1950-P is considered somewhat of a semi key date.

Circulated examples are very easy to come by. Examples in Uncirculated MS60-MS65 condition also seem to be abundant. Only in MS66 does it become scarce with possibly still a few thousand in existence. In MS67 condition it becomes scarce with possibly less than 100 examples in existence.

Rarity and Survival Estimates Learn More

Grades	Survival Estimate The Survival Estimate represents an average of one or more experts opinions as to how many examples survive of a particular coin in three categories: 1) all grades, 2) 60 or better, and 3) 65 or better. These estimates are based on a variety of sources, including population reports, auction appearances, and personal knowledge. Survival estimates include coins that are raw, certified by PCGS, and certified by other grading services.	Numismatic Rarity Numismatic Rarity converts the Survival Estimate for a particular coin into a number from 1 to 10 (with decimal increments) based on the PCGS Rarity Scale. The higher the number, the more rare the coin.	Relative Rarity by Type Relative Rarity By Type ranks the rarity of this coin with all other coins of this Type. Lower numbers indicate rarer coins.
