Historical significance

The Kennedy Half Dollar was first minted in 1964 as a memorial to the assassinated President John F. Kennedy. By 1984, the coin had transitioned from silver to a copper-nickel clad composition and was primarily used for circulation, although it was becoming less common in daily commerce.

Estimated value

$0.50 - $2.00 (Face value in circulated condition; higher or premium for uncirculated or high-grade mint specimens)

Care & preservation

Store in a cool, dry place within an acid-free coin holder or sleeve. Avoid cleaning or polishing the coin, as this can cause micro-abrasions that significantly lower its numismatic value.
