Overview

The reverse (shown) features Independence Hall in Philadelphia. The obverse features the profile of President John F. Kennedy with dual dates '1776–1976'.

Historical significance

This coin was issued to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the United States' independence. It is unique among circulating coinage as it bears the 1776–1976 dual dating rather than a single year of production.

Estimated value

$0.50 to $2.00 (Current market value is often just face value for circulated coins; higher prices are achieved for uncirculated or proof versions).

Care & preservation

Avoid cleaning the coin with chemicals or abrasives, as this can destroy its numismatic value. Store in a PVC-free plastic holder or a cool, dry place to prevent environmental damage.
