Historical Significance

Issued to commemorate President John F. Kennedy following his assassination in 1963. The 1971 issue is significant as it marked the first year that the circulation coins were made of base metal (clad) rather than silver content.

Estimated Value

$0.50 to $2.00 in circulated condition

Care Instructions

Keep in a cool, dry place. Avoid cleaning the coin with chemicals or abrasives as this can damage the surface and reduce its collector value. Store in an acid-free holder if preservation is desired.
