<p>[QUOTE=&quot;johnmilton, post: 7585562, member: 101855&quot;]I have always like the 1948 Franklin Half Dollar as the first of its kind. </p><p><br /></p><p>Here is an interesting challenge that will probably never be met. When the Franklin Half Dollar was introduced in 1948, there was a reception and dinner held at the Franklin Institute in Philadelphia on April 29, 1948. Each of the 200 guests who attended received a place card with a Franklin Half Dollar affixed to it with a short statement about the event. </p><p><br /></p><p>I have never seen nor heard of any of these place cards. I learned about this event from an article that was printed in an old book I have, <u>Selections from The Numismatist, United States Coins</u>. If you have the book, the article is on page 169.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
