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.
