50-cent Franklin
Issued initially in February 1912, the 30-cent Franklin underwent five renditions. A variety of papers, coils, watermarks, and perforations differentiate these versions.
The 50-cent Franklin stamp was commonly used with other denominations to fulfill large weight and foreign destination rates. By the time the last 50-cent Franklin stamps were sold, more than 125 million had been issued.
