Historical significance

The Kennedy Half Dollar was first minted in 1964 as a memorial to the assassinated President John F. Kennedy. While originally containing 90% silver, the composition was changed over time to base metals. By 2000, these were primarily minted for collectors and are less common in general circulation.

Estimated value

$0.50 (Face value) to $2.00 in uncirculated condition

Care & preservation

Handle by the edges to avoid leaving fingerprints. Do not clean or polish the coin, as this can damage the surface and reduce numismatic value. Store in a cool, dry place inside an archival-safe holder.
