All images of the Liberty Bell on Franklin half dollars (and, indeed, in real life) show a crack in the bell.
To determine its value you have to know the coin's date and whether there's a mint mark letter over the bell. Then please post a new question with that information.
That's the bicentennial dollar, extremely common, and still worth one dollar.
It is known how it cracked and when.
This half dollar is worth between seven and three-hundred dollars, depending on the condition.
A bell A bell can be cracked (like the liberty bell) A bell can be made (in a bell foundry) A bell can be told (rung) A bell can be played (as part of an orchestra) A joke!
Yes, and when the Liberty Bell cracked, it was sent back and recast, several times I believe.

1753 during testing.
As you can tell from looking below the bell, the coin is a half dollar. Also, if you check any history book you'll find that the Liberty Bell really does have a crack in it.
The Liberty Bell has never been "celebrated". It was rung on July 4, 1775 ( hence the name Liberty Bell) and it cracked, so it hasn't rung since.
Becuase at the time the bell was rang so often that it cracked. then they tried to fix it and did so. then they rang it so much again that it cracked all the way up and the liberty bell cannot ring again.

There were no silver dollars minted in 1950. The Franklin half dollar has the Liberty Bell on the reverse, The "6" above the bell must have been added after the coin left the mint. The "6' reduces the value of the coin to the value of the silver in it.
