History of the Kennedy Half Dollar

Introduced in 1964, the Kennedy Half Dollar was a tribute to the late President John F. Kennedy, conceived shortly after his assassination in 1963. The U.S. Mint crafted this JFK Half Dollar to celebrate his legacy, featuring a striking portrait of Kennedy on the obverse and the presidential seal on the reverse. Its swift production was driven by public demand to memorialize the revered leader.

Throughout the years, the half dollar coin has undergone several design evolutions and material changes. Notably, the 1975-1976 issues featured Independence Hall on the reverse, marking the U.S. Bicentennial. In 1971, the composition shifted from 90% silver to a clad material, reflecting market and production shifts. These variations have resulted in a diverse array of collectible coins, appealing to collectors and numismatists.

The Kennedy Half Dollar remains significant in numismatic history, symbolizing not only a moment of national mourning but also a transformation in American coin design and production. Its enduring popularity ensures its place in collections, celebrated for its historical and cultural value, with each coin narrating its unique story.
