The coin in question is a 1984 Kennedy Half Dollar, minted in Philadelphia (designated by the 'P' mint mark). As part of the United States coinage, it represents the denomination of fifty cents (50¢) and is made from a copper-nickel clad composition, which is a common material used for U.S. coins in this era. This particular series, the Kennedy Half Dollar, was first issued in 1964 in honor of President John F. Kennedy following his assassination. The 1984 issue features an iconic image of Kennedy on the obverse, designed by Gilroy Roberts, while the reverse showcases the Presidential Seal, designed by Frank D. Gasparro. The coin has a diameter of 30.6 mm and weighs 11.34 grams, typical of the Kennedy Half Dollar series. With a mintage of approximately 26,029,000 pieces, the 1984 Kennedy Half Dollar is fairly common in circulation today, which may influence its market value. Due to its wide circulation and relatively high mintage, its value is generally close to its face value for coins in average condition, but may increase for uncirculated or specifically graded examples. Collectors often seek out higher-grade specimens, especially those that can be certified in excellent condition. This coin represents not just a denomination but also a piece of American history, commemorating the legacy of a nation and its leaders.
