Overview

Obverse features a profile of President John F. Kennedy. Reverse displays the Seal of the President of the United States.

Historical significance

Introduced in 1964 shortly after President Kennedy's assassination, this coin was minted to honor him. The 1965-1970 issues contain 40% silver instead of the previous 90%. The SMS designation for 1965-1967 indicates uncirculated Special Mint Set coins with a satin-like finish.

Estimated value

Value varies based on condition, grading (MS 67 in this case), and market demand. A 1967 SMS MS 67 Kennedy Half Dollar can be valued anywhere from $50 to over $150, depending on the overall eye appeal and specific grading nuances.

Care & preservation

Handle by edges or wear gloves. Store in a dry, cool environment. Avoid touching surfaces.
